Hebrews 6:8

A Serious Warning Against Falling Away

⁷ For soil that drinks the rain which often falls on it and produces crops useful to those for whose benefit it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God; ⁸ but if it persistently produces thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned. ⁹ But, beloved, even though we speak to you in this way, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and of things that accompany salvation.
