of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,
It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,
and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,
who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age
For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God;
Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God.
but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.
