Hebrews 12:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ ·Try to live in [^LPursue] peace with all people, and ·try to live free from sin [^Lpursue holiness/sanctification]. [^LFor] Anyone whose life is not ·holy [sanctified] will never see the Lord. ¹⁵ ·Be careful [See to it; Take heed] that no one ·fails to receive [falls short of] God’s grace and ·begins to cause trouble among you [^Lthat no bitter root/plant grows up to cause trouble]. ·A person like that [Such a root/plant] can ·ruin [defile; pollute; corrupt] many of you. ¹⁶ ·Be careful [See to it; Take heed] that no one takes part in sexual sin or is like Esau and ·never thinks about God [is godless/profane/worldly-minded]. ·As the oldest son, Esau would have received everything from his father, but he sold all that for a single meal [^L…who sold his own birthright for one meal; Gen. 25:29–34].
