    • 6:7

      the ground receives a blessing: Christians had been blessed by learning precious truths about Jesus, so Paul here likens them to a plot of ground blessed with rain. Paul reasons that a cultivator would rightfully expect such ground to be fruitful. (Lu 13:6-9; 1Co 3:9) But as shown in the next verse, some individuals failed to produce good fruitage and were in danger of being cursed.​—Heb 6:8.
