Hebrews 12:15-17

New Testament for Everyone

¹⁵ Take good care that nobody lacks God’s grace; don’t let any “root of bitterness spring up to cause trouble,” defiling many people. ¹⁶ No one must be immoral or worldly-minded, like Esau: he sold his birthright for a single meal! ¹⁷ You know, don’t you, that later on, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected. There was no way he could change either his mind or Isaac’s, even though he wept bitterly in trying to do so.
