Hebrews 6:4 Context
2Of the doctrine of Baptismes, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternall iudgement. 3And this will we doe, if God permit. 4For it is impossible for those who were once inlightned, and haue tasted of the heauenly gift, and were made partakers of the holy Ghost, 5And haue tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come; 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.
