Hebrews 12:18-24
181For you have not come to 2a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind, 19and to the 3blast of a trumpet and the 4sound of words which sound was such that those who heard 5begged that no further word be spoken to them. 20For they could not bear the command, “6If even a beast touches the mountain, it will be stoned.” 21And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, “7I am full of fear and trembling.” 22But 8you have come to Mount Zion and to 9the city of 10the living God, 11the heavenly Jerusalem, and to 12myriads of 13angels, 23to the general assembly and 14church of the firstborn who 15are enrolled in heaven, and to God, 16the Judge of all, and to the 17spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24and to Jesus, the 18mediator of a new covenant, and to the 19sprinkled blood, which speaks better than 20the blood of Abel.
