And make sure that there isn’t any immoral or irreverent person like Esau, who sold his birthright in exchange for a single meal.
Make sure that no one becomes sexually immoral or ungodly like Esau. He sold his inheritance as the oldest son for one meal.
and that no one is sexually immoral, or godless like Esav, who in exchange for a single meal gave up his rights as the firstborn.
Watch out for immoral and ungodly people like Esau, who sold his future blessing for only one meal.
lest [there be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright;
that someone may not be sexually-immoral or profane like Esau, who sold his own firstborn-rights for one meal.
Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau; who for one mess, sold his first birthright.
Be careful that no one commits sexual sin. And be careful that no one is like Esau and never thinks about God. As the oldest son, Esau would have inherited everything from his father. But he sold all that for a single meal.
Make sure that nobody among you has sex in a wrong way. Be careful that nobody is careless about God's rules, like Esau was long ago. He gave away everything that he would have received as his father's first son. He gave it all away so that he could get only one meal.
Take care that no one becomes sexually immoral or worldly, like Esau, who gave away his right as firstborn for a single meal.
that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal.
that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal.
·Be careful [See to it; Take heed] that no one takes part in sexual sin or is like Esau and ·never thinks about God [is godless/profane/worldly-minded]. ·As the oldest son, Esau would have received everything from his father, but he sold all that for a single meal [L …who sold his own birthright for one meal; Gen. 25:29–34].

No one should be immoral or godless like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal.
Let it be your ambition to live at peace with all men and to achieve holiness “without which no man shall see the Lord”. Be careful that none of you fails to respond to the grace which God gives, for if he does there can very easily spring up in him a bitter spirit which is not only bad in itself but can also poison the lives of many others. Be careful too, that none of you falls into impurity or loses his reverence for the things of God and then, like Esau, is ready to sell his birthright to satisfy the momentary hunger of his body. Remember how afterwards, when he wanted to have the blessing which was his birthright, he was refused. He never afterwards found the way of repentance though he sought it desperately and with tears.

Watch out that no one becomes involved in sexual sin or becomes careless about God as Esau did: he traded his rights as the oldest son for a single meal.
Work at getting along with each other and with God. Otherwise you’ll never get so much as a glimpse of God. Make sure no one gets left out of God’s generosity. Keep a sharp eye out for weeds of bitter discontent. A thistle or two gone to seed can ruin a whole garden in no time. Watch out for the Esau syndrome: trading away God’s lifelong gift in order to satisfy a short-term appetite. You well know how Esau later regretted that impulsive act and wanted God’s blessing—but by then it was too late, tears or no tears.
