6:6. And are fallen away: to be renewed again to penance, crucifying
again to themselves the Son of God and making him a mockery.

6:7. For the earth, that drinketh in the rain which cometh often upon it
and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is tilled, receiveth
blessing from God.

6:8. But that which bringeth forth thorns and briers is reprobate and
very near unto a curse: whose end is to be burnt.

6:9. But, my dearly beloved, we trust better things of you, and nearer
to salvation; though we speak thus.

6:10. For God is not unjust, that he should forget your work and the
love which you have shewn in his name, you who have ministered and do

7:1. For this Melchisedech was king of Salem, priest of the most high
