Hebrews 12:18-29
181For 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, 23to the generalG3831 assemblyG3831 and 14churchG1577 of the firstbornG4416 who 15are enrolledG583 in heavenG3772, and to GodG2316, 16the JudgeG2923 of allG3956, and to the 17spiritsG4151 of the righteousG1342 madeG5048 perfectG5048, 24and to JesusG2424, the 18mediatorG3316 of a newG3501 covenantG1242, and to the 19sprinkledG4473 bloodG129, which speaksG2980 betterG2909 thanG3844 20the blood of AbelG6.
2521SeeG991 to it that you do not refuseG3868 Him who is 22speakingG2980. For 23ifG1487 thoseG1565 did not escapeG1628 when they 24refusedG3868 him who 25warnedG5537 them on earthG1093, 26muchG4183 lessG3123 will we escape who turnG654 awayG654 from Him who 27warns from heavenG3772. 26And 28His voiceG5456 shookG4531 the earthG1093 thenG5119, but nowG3568 He has promisedG1861, sayingG3004, “29YetG2089 onceG530 moreG530 I will shakeG4579 not onlyG3440 the earthG1093, but alsoG2532 the heavenG3772.” 27ThisG3588 expression, “YetG2089 onceG530 moreG530,” denotesG1213 30the removingG3331 of thoseG3588 things which can be shakenG4531, as of createdG4160 thingsG4160, soG2443 that thoseG3588 things which cannotG3361 be shakenG4531 may remainG3306. 28ThereforeG1352, since we receiveG3880 a 31kingdomG932 which cannotG761 be shakenG761, let us 32showG2192 gratitudeG5485, by whichG3739 we may 33offerG3000 to GodG2316 an acceptableG2102 serviceG3000 with reverenceG2124 and aweG1190; 29for 34our GodG2316 is a consumingG2654 fireG4442.
