Unable to renew certificate using certbot-auto

My domain is:
www.renewate.com

I ran this command:
./certbot-auto renew

It produced this output:

Recent versions of certbot-auto are no longer compatible with the old version of pip shipped by Debian Wheezy.

You have options, particularly using an older version of certbot-auto, or patching it.
