Hebrews 12:16 in Context — Hebrews 12
14 Recherchez la paix avec tous, et la sanctification, sans laquelle personne ne verra le Seigneur.
15 Veillez à ce que nul ne se prive de la grâce de Dieu; à ce qu’aucune racine d’amertume, poussant des rejetons, ne produise du trouble, et que plusieurs n’en soient infectés;
16 à ce qu’il n’y ait ni impudique, ni profane comme Ésaü, qui pour un mets vendit son droit d’aînesse.
17 Vous savez que, plus tard, voulant obtenir la bénédiction, il fut rejeté, quoiqu’il la sollicitât avec larmes; car son repentir ne put avoir aucun effet.
18 Vous ne vous êtes pas approchés d’une montagne qu’on pouvait toucher et qui était embrasée par le feu, ni de la nuée, ni des ténèbres, ni de la tempête,
