3 And this we shall do, if Elohim indeed permits.
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Set-apart Spirit,
5 and have tasted the good Word of Elohim and the powers of the age to come,
6 and fall away, to renew them again to repentance – having impaled for themselves the Son of Elohim again, and put Him to open shame.
7 For ground that is drinking the rain often falling on it, and is bearing plants fit for those by whom it is tilled, receives blessing from Elohim,
8 but if it brings forth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near to being cursed, and ends up by being burned.
9 But although we speak in this way, beloved, we are persuaded, concerning you, of better matters which possess deliverance.
