Hebrews 12:12-17

English Standard Version

¹² Therefore ^(A)lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, ¹³ and ^(B)make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint ^(C)but rather be healed. ^14 (D)Strive for peace with everyone, and for the ^(E)holiness ^(F)without which no one will see the Lord. ¹⁵ See to it that no one ^(G)fails to obtain the grace of God; that no ^(H)“root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; ¹⁶ that no one is ^(I)sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. ¹⁷ For you know that ^(J)afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.
