Hebrews 6 — Context

The teaching of baptisms, and of the putting on of hands, and of the future life of the dead, and of the judging on the last day.

Now we will do this, if God lets us.

As for those who at one time saw the light, tasting the good things from heaven, and having their part in the Holy Spirit,

With knowledge of the good word of God, and of the powers of the coming time,

And then let themselves be turned away, it is not possible for their hearts to be made new a second time; because they themselves put the Son of God on the cross again, openly shaming him.

For a land, drinking in the frequent rain and producing good plants for those for whom it is worked, has a blessing from God:

But if it sends up thorns and evil plants, it is of no use and is ready to be cursed; its only end is to be burned.
