Hebrews 12:11-15 New English Translation (NET)

11. Now all discipline seems painful at the time, not joyful. But later it produces the fruit of peace and righteousness for those trained by it.

12. Therefore, strengthen your listless hands and your weak knees,

13. and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but be healed.

14. Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness, for without it no one will see the Lord.

15. See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God, that no one be like a bitter root springing up and causing trouble, and through him many become defiled.
