| 10 One man of you puts to flight a thousand, since it is the Lord your God who fights for you, just as he promised you. |
| 11 Be very careful, therefore, to love the Lord your God. |
| 12 For if you turn back and cling to the remnant of these nations remaining among you and make marriages with them, so that you associate with them and they with you, |
| 14 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. |
| 15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; |
| 16 that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. |
