For it is (A)impossible, in the case of those who have once been (B)enlightened and have tasted of (C)the heavenly gift and have been made (D)partakers of the Holy Spirit, and (E)have tasted the good (F)word of God and the powers of (G)the age to come, and then have [a]fallen away, to (H)restore them again to repentance, [b](I)since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. For ground that drinks the rain which often [c]falls on it and produces vegetation useful to those (J)for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and [d](K)close to being cursed, and [e]it ends up being burned.

But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed.(H) In the end it will be burned.
