Hebrews 12:12-21

12Wherefore lift up the handsG5495 that hang down, and the palsied kneesG1119; 13and makeG4160 straight paths for your feetG4228, that that which is lameG5560 be not turnedG1624 out of the way, but ratherG3123 be healedG2390.

14Follow after peaceG1515 with all men, and the sanctificationG38 without which no man shall seeG3708 the LordG2962: 15looking carefully lestG3361there beany manG3778 that falleth shortG5302 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316; lestG3361 any rootG4491 of bitternessG4088 springing up trouble you, and thereby the manyG4183 be defiled; 16lestG3361 there be any fornicator, or profaneG952 person, as EsauG2269, who for oneG1520 mess of meat sold his ownG1438 birthright. 17For ye know that evenG2532 when he afterward desiredG2309 to inheritG2816 the blessingG2129, he was rejectedG593; for he foundG2147 no placeG5117 for a change of mind in his father, though he sought it diligently with tearsG1144.

18For ye are not comeG4334 unto a mount that might be touchedG5584, and that burnedG2545 with fireG4442, and unto blackness, and darknessG2217, and tempest, 19and the soundG5456 of a trumpetG4536, and the voiceG5456 of wordsG3056; which voiceG5456 they that heardG191 entreated that no wordG3056 more should be spoken unto them; 20for they could not endure that which was enjoined, If even a beastG2342 touchG2345 the mountainG3735, it shall be stoned; 21and so fearfulG5398 wasG1510 the appearance, that MosesG3475 saidG3004, I exceedingly fear and quake:
