Williams(i)
1 So then let us once for all quit the elementary teaching about Christ and continue progressing toward maturity; let us stop relaying a foundation of repentance from works that mean only death, and of faith in God,
2 of teaching about ceremonial washings and the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead and final judgment.
3 And we will progress, if God permits.
4 For it is impossible for those who have once for all been enlightened and have experienced the gift from heaven, who have been made sharers of the Holy Spirit
5 and have experienced how good God's message is and the mighty powers of the age to come,
6 and then have fallen by the wayside -- it is impossible, I say, to keep on restoring them to their first repentance, since they continue to crucify the Son of God to their detriment and hold Him up to contempt.
7 For a piece of ground that drinks in the rains so frequently falling on it, and continues yielding vegetation useful to those for whose sakes it is cultivated, receives from God His blessings.
8 But if it continues to yield thorns and thistles, it is considered worthless and in danger of being cursed, and its final fate is burning.
