“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;”
See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace (charis) of God; that no root of bitterness (pikria) springs up and causes trouble, and through it the many become defiled — the pastoral concern: no one misses (hystereō) grace. Bitterness (pikria) can infect the community; watchfulness prevents contagion.
