12
Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the palsied knees;
13
and make straight paths for your feet, that that which is lame be not turned out of the way, but rather be healed.
14
Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:
15
looking 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;
16
lest [there be] any fornication, or profane person, as Esau, who for one mess of meat sold his own birthright.
