Hebrews 12:14-17
American Standard Version
14 Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord: 15 looking carefully [a]lest there be any man that [b]falleth short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby the many be defiled; 16 [c]lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one mess of meat sold his own birthright. 17 For ye know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was [d]rejected; for he found no place for a change of mind in his father, though he sought it diligently with tears.
