Hebrews 12:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 (A)[a]Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without the which no man shall see the Lord.
15 [b]Take heed, that no man fall away from the grace of God: let no [c]root of bitterness spring up and trouble you, lest thereby many be defiled.
16 [d]Let there be no fornicator, or profane person as (B)Esau, which for one portion of meat sold his birthright.
