Hebrews 6:4-8
Legacy Standard Bible
4 For in the case of those once having been (A)enlightened and having tasted of (B)the heavenly gift and having become (C)partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and having (D)tasted the good (E)word of God and the powers of (F)the age to come, 6 and having fallen away, it is (G)impossible to renew them again to repentance, [a](H)since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. 7 For ground that drinks the rain which often [b]falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those (I)for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; 8 but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is unfit and (J)close [c]to being cursed, and its end is to be burned.

Hebrews 6:4-8
Revised Standard Version
4 For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 if they then commit apostasy, since they crucify the Son of God on their own account and hold him up to contempt. 7 For land which has drunk the rain that often falls upon it, and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God. 8 But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed; its end is to be burned.
