Hebrews 12:13

Guidance and decisionsFellowship and the churchSickness and healing

11 No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who have been trained by it.

12 Therefore strengthen your limp hands and weak knees.

Make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.

14 Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness springs up to cause trouble and defile many.
