- Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,
- of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.
- And this we will do, if God permits.
- For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
- and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,

- Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God,
- instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
- And God permitting, we will do so.
- It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,
- who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age,
|
- and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.
- For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God;
- but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned.
- But, beloved, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and things that accompany salvation, though we are speaking in this way.

- if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, becauseto their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.
- Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God.
- But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.
- Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are confident of better things in your case--things that accompany salvation.
- God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.
|
- And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end,
- so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
|
- We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure.
- We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
