Hebrews 12:14-17

Lexham English Bible

¹⁴ Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord. ¹⁵ Take care that no one falls short of the grace of God; that no one growing up like a root of bitterness causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; ¹⁶ that no one be a sexually immoral or totally worldly person like Esau, who for one meal traded his own birthright. ¹⁷ For you know that also afterwards, when he^[a] wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, because he did not find an occasion for repentance, although he sought it with tears.
