Hebrews 12:14-17

Wycliffe WYC

14 Follow ye peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see God.

15 Behold ye, that no man fail to the grace of God [Beholding that no man fail to the grace of God], that no root of bitterness burrowing upward hinder [us], and many be defouled by it [and by it be many men defouled];

16 that no man be lecher, either unholy, as Esau, which for one meat sold his first things. [+that no man be lecher, or unholy, as Esau, the which for one meal's meat sold his first things, or heritage.]

17 For know ye, that afterward he coveting to inherit blessing, was reproved. For he found not place of penance, though he sought it with tears.

New International Version NIV

14 Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.

16 See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son.

17 Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. Even though he sought the blessing with tears, he could not change what he had done.
