12. Because of this, lift up your lazy hands and your lax knees,
13. and straighten the path of your feet, so that no one, being lame, may wander astray, but instead may be healed.
14. Pursue peace with everyone. Pursue sanctity, without which no one shall see God.
15. Be contemplative, lest anyone lack the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness spring up and impede you, and by it, many might be defiled,
16. lest any fornicator or worldly person be like Esau, who, for the sake of one meal, sold his birthright.
