Hebrews 12:14-17
Legacy Standard Bible
14 (A)Pursue peace with all men, and the (B)sanctification without which no one will (C)see the Lord, 15 seeing to it that no one (D)falls short of the grace of God; that no (E)root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be (F)defiled; 16 that also there be no (G)sexually immoral or (H)godless person like Esau, (I)who sold his own birthright for a single meal. 17 For you know that even afterwards, (J)when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought for it with tears.

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.
