Hebrews 12:12-21
12ThereforeG1352, 12strengthenG461 the handsG5495 that are weakG3935 and the kneesG1119 that are feebleG3886, 13and 3makeG4160 straightG3717 pathsG5163 for your feetG4228, soG2443 thatG2443 the limb which is impairedG5560 may not be dislocatedG1624, but ratherG3123 4be healedG2390.
145PursueG1377 peaceG1515 with allG3956 peopleG3956, and the 6holinessG38 withoutG5565 whichG3739 noG3762 oneG3762 will 7seeG3708 the LordG2962. 15SeeG1983 toG1983 itG1983 that noG3361 oneG5100 8comesG5302 shortG5302 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316; that noG3361 9rootG4491 of bitternessG4088 springingG5453 up causesG1776 troubleG1776, and by it manyG4183 becomeG3392 10defiledG3392; 16that there be noG3361G5100 11sexuallyG4205 immoralG4205 orG2228 12godlessG952 personG952 likeG5613 EsauG2269, 13whoG3739 soldG591 his ownG1438 birthrightG4415 for a single mealG1035. 17For you knowG3609 that evenG2532 afterwardG3347, 14when he wantedG2309 to inheritG2816 the blessingG2129, he was rejectedG593, for he foundG2147 noG3756 placeG5117 for repentanceG3341, thoughG2539 he soughtG1567 for it with tearsG1144.
1815For you have not comeG4334 to 16a mountain that can be touchedG5584 and to a blazingG2545 fireG4442, and to darknessG1105 and gloomG2217 and whirlwindG2366, 19and to the 17blastG2279 of a trumpetG4536 and the 18soundG5456 of wordsG4487, whichG3739 sound was such that thoseG3588 who heardG191 19beggedG3868 that noG3361 furtherG4369 wordG3056 be spokenG4369 to them. 20For they could not 20copeG5342 withG5342 the commandG1291, “21IfG2579 evenG2579 an animalG2342 touchesG2345 the mountainG3735, it shall be stonedG3036.” 21And soG3779 terribleG5398 was the sightG5324, that MosesG3475 saidG3004, “22I amG1510 terrifiedG1630 and tremblingG1790.”
