Hebrews 12:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ Looking diligently, lest any man be wanting to the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up do hinder, and by it many be defiled.

¹⁶ Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau; who for one mess, sold his first birthright.

¹⁷ For know ye that afterwards, when he desired to inherit the benediction, he was rejected; for he found no place of repentance, although with tears he had sought it.
