^{13 Ref} and make straight paths for your feet, so that which is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

^{14 Ref} Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,

^{15 Ref} looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby the many be defiled;

^{16 Ref} lest there be any sexually immoral person, or profane person, as Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.
