Hebrews 12:15-17

New International Version

¹⁵ See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God^(A) and that no bitter root^(B) grows up to cause trouble and defile many. ¹⁶ See that no one is sexually immoral,^(C) or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son.^{(D) 17} Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. Even though he sought the blessing with tears,^(E) he could not change what he had done.
