希伯来书12:14-17
14你们要追求与众人和睦,并要追求圣洁。非圣洁没有人能见主。15又要谨慎,恐怕有人失了神的恩。恐怕有毒根生出来扰乱你们,因此叫众人沾染污秽。16恐怕有淫乱的,有贪恋世俗如以扫的。他因一点食物把自己长子的名分卖了。17后来想要承受父所祝的福,竟被弃绝,虽然号哭切求,却得不着门路,使他父亲的心意回转,这是你们知道的。
14Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord. 15Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many. 16Make sure that no one is immoral or godless like Esau, who traded his birthright as the firstborn son for a single meal. 17You know that afterward, when he wanted his father’s blessing, he was rejected. It was too late for repentance, even though he begged with bitter tears.
