Hebrews 6:4-8
New American Standard Bible
4 For it is (A)impossible, in the case of those who have once been (B)enlightened and have tasted of (C)the heavenly gift and have been made (D)partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and (E)have tasted the good (F)word of God and the powers of (G)the age to come, 6 and then have [a]fallen away, to (H)restore them again to repentance, [b](I)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 [c]falls on it and produces vegetation useful to those (J)for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; 8 but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and [d](K)close to being cursed, and [e]it ends up being burned.

Hebrews 6:4-8
Lexham English Bible
4 For it is impossible concerning those who have once been enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and become sharers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the coming age, 6 and having fallen away, to renew them again to repentance, because they[a] have crucified again for themselves the Son of God and held him up to contempt. 7 For ground that drinks the rain that comes often upon it, and brings forth vegetation usable to those people for whose sake[b] it is also cultivated, shares a blessing from God. 8 But if it[c] produces thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to a curse, whose end is for burning.
