Warning Against Refusing God

14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men¹ and to be holy;² without holiness no one will see the Lord.³ 15 See to it that no one misses the grace of God⁴ and that no bitter root⁵ grows up to cause trouble and defile many. 16 See that no one is sexually immoral,⁶ or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son.⁷ 17 Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. He could bring about no change of mind, though he sought the blessing with tears.⁸
