Hebrews 6:1-6
1
Therefore i let us leave j the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance k from dead works and of faith toward God,
2
and of l instruction about washings, m the laying on of hands, n the resurrection of the dead, and o eternal judgment.
3
And this we will do p if God permits.
4
For it is impossible, in the case of those q who have once been enlightened, who have tasted r the heavenly gift, and s have shared in the Holy Spirit,
5
and t have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come,
6
and u then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since v they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.
