For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:	But that which beareth thorns and briers [is] rejected, and [is] nigh unto cursing; whose end [is] to be burned.	But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
