Hebrews 12:12-21
12ThereforeG1352 strengthenG461 your limpG3935 handsG5495 andG2532 weakG3886 kneesG1119.1 13MakeG4160 straightG3717 pathsG5163 forG3588 yourG4771 feetG4228,2 so thatG2443 theG3588 lameG5560 may notG3361 be disabledG1624, butG1161 ratherG3123 healedG2390.
14PursueG1377 peaceG1515 withG3326 everyoneG3956, as well asG2532 holinessG38, withoutG5565 whichG3739 no oneG3762 will seeG3708 theG3588 LordG2962. 15See to it thatG1983 noG3361 oneG5100 falls shortG5302 ofG575 theG3588 graceG5485 of GodG2316, and that noG3361G5100 rootG4491 of bitternessG40883 springsG5453 upG507 to cause troubleG1776 andG2532 defileG3392 manyG4183. 16See to it thatG3361 no one is sexually immoralG4205, orG2228 is godlessG952 likeG5613 EsauG2269, whoG3739 forG473 a singleG1520 mealG1035 soldG591 hisG1438 birthrightG4415. 17ForG1063 you knowG1492 thatG3754 afterwardG3347, when he wantedG2309 to inheritG2816 theG3588 blessingG2129, he was rejectedG593. He could findG1063G2147 noG3756 groundG5117 for repentanceG3341, thoughG2539 he soughtG1567 the blessing withG3326 tearsG1144.
18ForG1063 you have not come toG3756G4334 a mountain that can be touchedG5584 andG2532 that4 is burningG2545 with fireG4442; to darknessG1105, gloomG2217, andG2532 stormG2366; 19to a trumpetG4536 blastG2279 or to a voiceG5456G4487 thatG3739 made its hearersG191 beg thatG3868 no furtherG3361 wordG3056 be spokenG4369. 20ForG1063 they could not bearG3756G5342 whatG3588 was commandedG1291: “If evenG2579 an animalG2342 touchesG2345 theG3588 mountainG3735, it must be stonedG3036.”5 21TheG3588 sightG5324 wasG1510 soG3779 terrifyingG5398 that evenG2532 MosesG3475 saidG2036, “I amG1510 tremblingG1790 with fearG1630.”6
