希伯来书6:4-9
4论到那些已经蒙了光照,尝过天恩的滋味,又于圣灵有分,5并尝过神善道的滋味,觉悟来世权能的人,6若是离弃道理,就不能叫他们重新懊悔了。因为他们把神的儿子重钉十字架,明明地羞辱他。7就如一块田地,吃过屡次下的雨水,生长菜蔬合乎耕种的人用,就从神得福。8若长荆棘和蒺藜,必被废弃,近于咒诅,结局就是焚烧。9亲爱的弟兄们,我们虽是这样说,却深信你们的行为强过这些,而且近乎得救。
4For it is impossible to bring back to repentance those who were once enlightened—those who have experienced the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit, 5who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the power of the age to come— 6and who then turn away from God. It is impossible to bring such people back to repentance; by rejecting the Son of God, they themselves are nailing him to the cross once again and holding him up to public shame. 7When the ground soaks up the falling rain and bears a good crop for the farmer, it has God’s blessing. 8But if a field bears thorns and thistles, it is useless. The farmer will soon condemn that field and burn it. 9Dear friends, even though we are talking this way, we really don’t believe it applies to you. We are confident that you are meant for better things, things that come with salvation.
