Hebrews 6:4-8
New English Translation
4 For it is impossible in the case of those who have once been enlightened, tasted the heavenly gift, become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 tasted the good word of God and the miracles of the coming age, 6 and then have committed apostasy,[a] to renew them again to repentance, since[b] they are crucifying the Son of God for themselves all over again[c] and holding him up to contempt. 7 For the ground that has soaked up the rain that frequently falls on[d] it and yields useful vegetation for those who tend it receives a blessing from God. 8 But if it produces thorns and thistles, it is useless and about to be cursed;[e] its fate is to be burned.

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.
