Hebrews 6:8
Compare all
6 1if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, asince they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.  
7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, areceives blessing from God;  
8 abut if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.  

A Better Estimate

9 But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner.
10 For aGod is not unjust to forget byour work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have cministered to the saints, and do minister.  
11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence ato the full assurance of hope until the end,  
12 that you do not become1 sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience ainherit the promises.  

God’s Infallible Purpose in Christ

13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, aHe swore by Himself,  
14 saying, a“Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”
