ACV(i)
1 Therefore having left the word of the primacy of Christ, let us be brought forward to perfection, not again laying a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
2 of doctrine of washings, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3 And this we will do, if of course God will permit.
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and who tasted of the heavenly gift, and who became partakers of the Holy Spirit,
5 and who tasted the good word of God and the powers of the coming age,
6 and who fell away, to restore again to repentance, crucifying to themselves the Son of God, and disgracing him publicly.
7 For the soil that has drunk the rain often coming upon it, and bringing forth vegetation useful for those by whom also it is cultivated, partakes of a blessing from God.
8 But producing thorns and thistles it is unfit and near a curse, the end of which is for burning.
