Hebreos 6:8 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 6:8

But that which beareth thorns and briers
To which wicked men answer; who are unfruitful and unprofitable, and are hurtful, pricking and grieving, by their wicked lives and conversations, by their bitter and reproachful words, and by their violent and cruel persecutions; and particularly carnal professors, and especially apostates, such as before described; for to such earth, professors of religion may be compared, who are worldly, slothful, defrauding and overreaching, carnal and wanton; as also heretical men, and such as turn from the faith, deny it, and persecute the saints: and the things or actions produced by them are aptly expressed by "thorns and briers"; such as errors, heresies, and evil works of all kinds; and which show that the seed of the word was never sown in their hearts, and that that which they bear, or throw out, is natural to them: and such earth is rejected;
as such men are, both by the church, and by God himself; or "reprobate", as they are concerning the faith, and to every good work; and are given up by God to a reprobate mind: and is "nigh unto cursing"; and such men are cursed already by the law, being under its sentence of curse and condemnation; and are nigh to the execution of it; referring either to the destruction of Jerusalem, which was near at hand; or to the final judgment, when they shall hear, Go, ye cursed: whose end is to be burned;
with everlasting and unquenchable fire, in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone.

Hebreos 6:8 In-Context

7 Cuando la tierra bebe la lluvia que con frecuencia cae sobre ella, y produce una buena cosecha para los que la cultivan, recibe bendición de Dios.
8 En cambio, cuando produce espinos y cardos, no vale nada; está a punto de ser maldecida, y acabará por ser quemada.
9 En cuanto a ustedes, queridos hermanos, aunque nos expresamos así, estamos seguros de que les espera lo mejor, es decir, lo que atañe a la salvación.
10 Porque Dios no es injusto como para olvidarse de las obras y del amor que, para su gloria, ustedes han mostrado sirviendo a los santos, como lo siguen haciendo.
