WITHOUT HOLINESS NO ONE WILL SEE THE LORD

 

14 Make Every Effort

To Live in Peace with Everyone

And to be Holy

WITHOUT HOLINESS NO ONE WILL SEE THE LORD.

15 See to it that No One Falls Short

Of the Grace of God

And that No Bitter Root Grows Up

To Cause Trouble and Defile Many.

16 See that No One is Sexually Immoral,

Or is godless like Esau,

Who for a Single Meal Sold his Inheritance Rights

As the oldest son.

17 Afterward, as you know,

When he Wanted to Inherit this Blessing,

He was Rejected.

Even though he Sought the Blessing with Tears,

He Could Not Change what he had Done.

Hebrews 12:14-17, NIV)
