Hebrews 6:8 Context
6If they shall fall away, to renue them againe vnto repentance: seeing they crucifie to themselues the Sonne of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7For the earth which drinketh in the raine that commeth oft vpon it, and bringeth forth herbes meet for them by whome it is dressed, receiueth blessing from God. 8But that which beareth thornes and briers, is reiected, and is nigh vnto cursing, whose end is to be burned. 9But beloued, wee are perswaded better things of you, and things that accompany saluation, though we thus speake. 10For God is not vnrighteous, to forget your worke and labour of loue, which yee haue shewed toward his Name, in that yee haue ministred to the Saints, and doe minister.
