LEB(i)
1 Therefore, leaving behind the elementary message about Christ, let us move on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and faith in God,
2 teaching about baptisms and laying on of hands, and resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.
3 And this we will do, if God permits.
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* 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⌋* it is also cultivated, shares a blessing from God.
8 But if it* produces thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to a curse, whose end is for burning.
