12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; |
13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. |
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: |
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; |
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. |
17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. |
