MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Hence, having left the word of the beginning principles of Christ, we should carry on to our maturity; not putting down again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith upon God, ² of the teaching of immersions and of the laying on of hands and of resurrection of the dead and of everlasting judgment. ³ And we might do this, if indeed God permits. ⁴ For it is impossible, those who were once enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and had become partakers of the Holy Spirit ⁵ and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the future world ⁶ and then having fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, because they are again crucifying for themselves the Son of God and disgracing him. ⁷ For the soil, which drank the rainfall, when it has come often upon her, and is bearing forth vegetation fit for those because of whom it is also cultivated, receives blessing from God. ⁸ But when it is bringing forth thorns and thistles, it is unapproved and near to a curse; whose end is for burning.
