Hebrews 12:12-17

¹²Therefore strengthen your limp hands and weak knees.

¹³Make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.

¹⁴Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

¹⁵See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness springs up to cause trouble and defile many.

¹⁶See to it that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his birthright.

¹⁷For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected. He could find no ground for repentance, though he sought the blessing with tears.
