Apostol § 332

Brethren, pursue peace with all men, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking diligently lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause you trouble, and by this many become defiled; lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears. For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest, and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that they that heard it begged that the word should not be spoken to them any more. (For they could not endure that which was commanded: “And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned or thrust through with an arrow.” And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I exceedingly fear and quake.”) But you have come unto Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of Angels, to the general assembly and Church of the firstborn which are registered in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel...
