Hebrews 12:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 [a]Take heed, that no man fall away from the grace of God: let no [b]root of bitterness spring up and trouble you, lest thereby many be defiled.
16 [c]Let there be no fornicator, or profane person as (A)Esau, which for one portion of meat sold his birthright.
17 (B)For ye know how that afterward also when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no [d]place to repentance, though he sought that blessing with tears.
