Hebrews 12:12-17

12Therefore, 1 2strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble, 13and 3make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather 4be healed.

14 5Pursue peace with all men, and the 6sanctification without which no one will 7see the Lord. 15See to it that no one 8comes short of the grace of God; that no 9root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be 10defiled; 16that there be no 11immoral or 12godless person like Esau, 13who sold his own birthright for a single meal. 17For you know that even afterwards, 14when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought for it with tears.
