Hebrews 12:14-17

International Standard Version

¹⁴ Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord. ¹⁵ See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up and causes you trouble, or many of you will become defiled. ¹⁶ No one should be immoral or godless like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. ¹⁷ For you know that afterwards, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected because he could not find any opportunity to repent, even though he begged to repent^[a] with tears.
