58:012:009 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected
us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in
subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
58:012:010 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own

shall see the Lord:
58:012:015 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
58:012:016 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
58:012:017 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited
the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of
repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
58:012:018 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and
that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and
tempest,
