Berean Standard Bible

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

Hebrews 12:14

Save as image

Study note

After the section on discipline, the writer gives practical instructions for the community in 12:12-17: strengthen weak hands and knees, make straight paths, pursue peace and holiness, and watch that no bitter root grows up to trouble many. The call is corporate as well as personal.
