  teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not
  laying again the foundation of repentance from
  acts that lead to death, and of faith in God,
  2instruction about baptisms, the laying on of
  hands, the resurrection of the dead, and
  eternal judgment. 3And God
  permitting, we will do so.

  tasted the goodness of the word of God and the

  be brought back to repentance, because to their
  loss they are crucifying the
  Son of God all over
  again and subjecting him to
  public disgrace.
