Hebrews 12:18-22

18 1For you have not comeG4334 to 2a mountain that can be touchedG5584 and to a blazingG2545 fireG4442, and to darknessG1105 and gloomG2217 and whirlwindG2366,

19and to the 3blastG2279 of a trumpetG4536 and the 4soundG5456 of wordsG4487 whichG3739 sound was such that thoseG3588 who heardG191 5beggedG3868 that noG3361 furtherG4369 wordG3056 be spokenG4369 to them.

20For they could not bearG5342 the commandG1291, “6IfG2579 evenG2579 a beastG2342 touchesG2345 the mountainG3735, it will be stonedG3036.”

21And soG3779 terribleG5398 was the sightG5324, that MosesG3475 saidG3004, “7I amG1510 fullG1630 of fearG1630 and tremblingG1790.”

22But 8you have comeG4334 to MountG3735 ZionG4622 and to 9the cityG4172 of 10the livingG2198 GodG2316, 11the heavenlyG2032 JerusalemG2419, and to 12myriadsG3461 of 13angelsG32,
