¹⁵ Looking diligently lest any man fail [1] of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

¹⁵ watching lest [there be] any one who lacks the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and many be defiled by it;

¹⁵ Make sure no one gets left out of God's generosity. Keep a sharp eye out for weeds of bitter discontent. A thistle or two gone to seed can ruin a whole garden in no time.
