Hebrews 12:14-17

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ Try to live in peace with all people. And try to live lives free from sin. If anyone’s life is not holy, he will never see the Lord. ¹⁵ Be careful that no one fails to get God’s grace. Be careful that no one becomes like a bitter weed growing among you. A person like that can ruin all of you. ¹⁶ Be careful that no one takes part in sexual sin. And be careful that no person is unholy like Esau. He sold all his rights as the oldest son for a single meal. ¹⁷ You remember that after Esau did this, he wanted to get his father’s blessing. He wanted this blessing so much that he cried. But his father refused to give him the blessing, because Esau could find no way to change what he had done.
