3 And we shall do this, if indeed God permits it.
4 For it is impossible for those who were once illuminated, and have even tasted of the heavenly gift, and have become sharers in the Holy Spirit,
5 who, despite having tasted the good Word of God and the virtues of the future age, have yet fallen away,
6 to be renewed again to penance, since they are crucifying again in themselves the Son of God and are still maintaining pretenses.
7 For the earth accepts a blessing from God, by drinking in the rain that often falls upon it, and by producing plants that are useful to those by whom it is cultivated.
