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 6cope with the command, “7If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.” 21And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, “8I am terrified and trembling.” 22But 9you have come to Mount Zion and to 10the city of 11the living God, 12the heavenly Jerusalem, and to 13myriads of 14angels, 23to the general assembly and 15church of the firstborn who 16are enrolled in heaven, and to God, 17the Judge of all, and to the 18spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24and to Jesus, the 19mediator of a new covenant, and to the 20sprinkled blood, which speaks better than 21the blood of Abel.
