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.
8 But whatever brings forth thorns and briers is rejected, and is closest to what is accursed; their consummation is in combustion.
9 But from you, most beloved, we are confident that there will be things better and closer to salvation; even though we speak in this way.
