Root Of Bitterness

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;

• Family
• Heart

Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

• Gall

For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.

• Firstborn
• Esau
• Worldliness

Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

• Darkness
• Darkness

For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,

Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.
