"Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord." (Hebrews 12:14)
How to do?
"Looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the glory of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble; and by this many become defiled. (Hebrews 12:15)
"You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you." (John 15:3)
"Having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever." (1 Peter 1:23)
"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abided in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me." (John 15:4)
