Hebrews 6:1-8 ▼

1 Therefore, let us leave the elementary teaching about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, faith in God,

2 teaching about ritual washings, laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

3 And we will do this if God permits.

4 For it is impossible to renew to repentance those who were once enlightened, who tasted the heavenly gift, who shared in the Holy Spirit,

5 who tasted God’s good word and the powers of the coming age,

6 and who have fallen away. This is because, to their own harm, they are recrucifying the Son of God and holding him up to contempt.

7 For the ground that drinks the rain that often falls on it and that produces vegetation useful to those for whom it is cultivated receives a blessing from God.

8 But if it produces thorns and thistles, it is worthless and about to be cursed, and at the end will be burned.
