Hebrews 6:7-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁷ For ground that has drunk the rain that has often fallen on it and that produces vegetation useful to those it is cultivated for receives a blessing from God. ⁸ But if it produces thorns and thistles, it is worthless and about to be cursed, and will be burned at the end.^(A)

⁹ Even though we are speaking this way, dear friends, in your case we are confident of the better things connected with salvation.
