Hebrews 12:14 Context
12Wherefore lift vp the handes which hang downe, and the feeble knees. 13And make straight paths for your feete, lest that which is lame bee turned out of the way, but let it rather bee healed. 14Followe peace with all men, and holinesse, without which no man shall see the Lord: 15Looking diligently, lest any man faile of the grace of God, lest any roote of bitternesse springing vp, trouble you, and thereby many be defiled: 16Lest there bee any fornicatour, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsell of meat sold his birthright.
