English Standard Version
4 For it is impossible, in the case of those (A)who have once been enlightened, who have tasted (B)the heavenly gift, and (C)have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 and (D)have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 and (E)then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since (F)they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt. 7 For (G)land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God. 8 But (H)if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, (I)and its end is to be burned.

2 Samuel 12:7-14
English Standard Version
7 Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, (A)‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul. 8 And I gave you your master's house and your master's wives into your arms and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah. And if this were too little, I would add to you as much more. 9 (B)Why have you despised the word of the Lord, (C)to do what is evil in his sight? (D)You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and (E)have taken his wife to be your wife and have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites. 10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.’ 11 Thus says the Lord, ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house. And I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun. 12 For you did it secretly, (F)but I will do this thing before all Israel and before the sun.’” 13 (G)David said to Nathan, (H)“I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, (I)“The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die. 14 Nevertheless, because by this deed you have utterly (J)scorned the Lord,[a] the child who is born to you shall die.”

Paul Opposes Peter
11 But (A)when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him (B)to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, (C)he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing (D)the circumcision party.[a] 13 And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that their (E)conduct was not in step with (F)the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas (G)before them all, “If you, though a Jew, (H)live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
