Hebrews 6:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁷ Ground that drinks up the rain falling on it repeatedly and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is cultivated receives a blessing from God.^{(A) 8} But if it produces thorns and thistles, it is worthless and on the verge of being cursed; its end is to be burned over.^(B)

⁹ Even though we speak in this way, beloved, we are confident of better things in your case, things that belong to salvation.
