Renew yourselves spiritually; go forward in your Christian life; try to live peacefully with everyone; seek to be holy; guard against bitterness; do not be immoral; and do not refuse to listen to God.

Hebrews 12:12-17

12 So, instead of acting as though you were spiritually exhausted, renew yourselves [MET] spiritually. 13 Go straight forward in your Christian life [MET], in order that believers who are uncertain about their faith will imitate you and not ◄leave God’s way/become useless to God► [MET]. Instead, they will be spiritually restored [MET] as an injured and useless limb is restored. 14 Try to live peacefully with all people. Seek to be holy, since no one will see the Lord if he is not holy. 15 Beware that none of you stops trusting in God, who has done kind things for us that we did not deserve (OR, Beware that you have never experienced God kindly saving you). Be on guard lest any of you act in an evil way towards others, because your doing that will grow like [MET] a root grows into a big plant, and the result of your doing that will be that many believers will sin and become unacceptable to God. 16 Do not let anyone be immoral, or be irreligious as Esau was. He exchanged the rights he had as a firstborn son for only one meal. 17 You know that after he did that, he wanted to receive what his father would promise to give him if he blessed him. But his father was unable to change what he had already done. And Esau found no way to change things, even though he sought tearfully to do that.
