Hebrews 6:7-9

New English Translation

⁷ For the ground that has soaked up the rain that frequently falls on^[a] it and yields useful vegetation for those who tend it receives a blessing from God. ⁸ But if it produces thorns and thistles, it is useless and about to be cursed;^[b] its fate is to be burned. ⁹ But in your case, dear friends, even though we speak like this, we are convinced of better things relating to salvation.
