Hebrews 12:12-21

12Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees,

13and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.

14Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

15See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no "root of bitterness" springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled;

16that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal.

17For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.

18For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a tempest

19and the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that no further messages be spoken to them.

20For they could not endure the order that was given, "If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned."

21Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, "I tremble with fear."
