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
New King James Version
14 (A)Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, (B)without which no one will see the Lord: 15 looking carefully lest anyone (C)fall short of the grace of God; lest any (D)root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; 16 lest there be any (E)fornicator or [a]profane person like Esau, (F)who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. 17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was (G)rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.
