1 Therefore having left the word of the beginning of Christ, let us be carried to perfection; not again laying the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 of the teaching of baptisms, and of the laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And we will do this, if God may permit. 4 For it is impossible that those having been once enlightened, and tasted the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 and having tasted the beautiful word of God, and the dynamites of the coming age, 6 indeed having fallen away, to renew them again unto repentance; having crucified to themselves again the Son of God, and put him to an open shame. 7 For the earth drinking the rain coming often upon her, and bringing forth the herb nutritious to those by whom it is also cultivated, receives blessings from God: 8 but that which produces thorns and thistles, is reprobate, and nigh unto the curse; whose end is unto burning. Hebrews 6:1-8, Godbey New Testament. Public domain.
