Hebrews 12:18-24

18ForG1063 you have not come toG3756G4334 a mountain that can be touchedG5584 andG2532 that1 is burningG2545 with fireG4442; to darknessG1105, gloomG2217, andG2532 stormG2366; 19to a trumpetG4536 blastG2279 or to a voiceG5456G4487 thatG3739 made its hearersG191 beg thatG3868 no furtherG3361 wordG3056 be spokenG4369. 20ForG1063 they could not bearG3756G5342 whatG3588 was commandedG1291: “If evenG2579 an animalG2342 touchesG2345 theG3588 mountainG3735, it must be stonedG3036.”2 21TheG3588 sightG5324 wasG1510 soG3779 terrifyingG5398 that evenG2532 MosesG3475 saidG2036, “I amG1510 tremblingG1790 with fearG1630.”3

22InsteadG235, you have come toG4334 MountG3735 ZionG4622, to the cityG4172 of the livingG2198 GodG2316, the heavenlyG2032 JerusalemG2419. You have come to myriadsG3461 of angelsG32 23in joyful assemblyG3831, to the congregationG1577 of the firstbornG4416, enrolledG583 inG1722 heavenG3772. You have come to GodG2316 the JudgeG2923 of allG3956, to the spiritsG4151 of the righteousG1342 made perfectG5048, 24to JesusG2424 the mediatorG3316 of a newG3501 covenantG1242, andG2532 to the sprinkledG4473 bloodG129 that speaksG2980 a better wordG2909 thanG3844 the blood ofG3588 AbelG6.
