Hebrews 12:15

A Serious Warning Against Refusing God

¹⁴ Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord. ¹⁵ Looking carefully lest any man fall short, away from the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness sprouting up would cause trouble, and by this many may be defiled, ¹⁶ lest a fornicator or profane man like Esau, who, in place of one meal sold his birthright.
