Hebrews
Chapters 12:10-16
Revised Version 1885
10For they verily for a few days chastened us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
11All chastening seemeth for the present to be not joyous, but grievous: yet afterward it yieldeth peaceable fruit unto them that have been exercised thereby, even the fruit of righteousness.
12Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the palsied knees;
13and make straight paths for your feet, that that which is lame be not turned out of the way, but rather be healed.
14Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:
15looking carefully lest there be any man that falleth short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby the many be defiled;
16lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one mess of meat sold his own birthright.
