“For know ye that afterwards, when he desired to inherit the benediction, he was rejected. For he found no place of repentance, although with tears he had sought it.”

Pursue peace with everyone. Pursue sanctity, without which no one shall see God.
Be contemplative, lest anyone lack the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness spring up and impede you, and by it, many might be defiled,
lest any fornicator or worldly person be like Esau, who, for the sake of one meal, sold his birthright.
For you know that afterwards, when he desired to inherit the benediction, he was rejected. For he found no place for repentance, even though he had sought it with tears.
But you have not drawn near to a tangible mountain, or a burning fire, or a whirlwind, or a mist, or a storm,
or the sound of a trumpet, or a voice of words. Those who had experienced these things excused themselves, lest the Word be spoken to them.
For they could not bear what was said, and so, if even a beast would have touched the mountain, it would have been stoned.
