New Testament

Hebrews 12:14-20 Common English Bible (CEB)

14. Pursue the goal of peace along with everyone—and holiness as well, because no one will see the Lord without it.

15. Make sure that no one misses out on God’s grace. Make sure that no root of bitterness grows up that might cause trouble and pollute many people.

16. Make sure that no one becomes sexually immoral or ungodly like Esau. He sold his inheritance as the oldest son for one meal.

17. You know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected because he couldn’t find a way to change his heart and life, though he looked for it with tears.

18. You haven’t drawn near to something that can be touched: a burning fire, darkness, shadow, a whirlwind,

19. a blast of a trumpet, and a sound of words that made the ones who heard it beg that there wouldn’t be one more word.

20. They couldn’t stand the command, If even a wild animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.
