Hebrews 6:2-6

Contemporary English Version

²And we shouldn't need to keep teaching about baptisms^[a] or about the laying on of hands^[b] or about people being raised from death and the future judgment. ³Let's grow up, if God is willing.

^4-6But what about people who turn away after they have already seen the light and have received the gift from heaven and have shared in the Holy Spirit? What about those who turn away after they have received the good message of God and the powers of the future world? There is no way to bring them back. What they are doing is the same as nailing the Son of God to a cross and insulting him in public!
