Hebrews 12:22-29

22But 1you have come to Mount Zion and to 2the city of 3the living God, 4the heavenly Jerusalem, and to 5myriads of 6angels, 23to the general assembly and 7church of the firstborn who 8are enrolled in heaven, and to God, 9the Judge of all, and to the 10spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24and to Jesus, the 11mediator of a new covenant, and to the 12sprinkled blood, which speaks better than 13the blood of Abel.

2514See to it that you do not refuse Him who is 15speaking. For 16if those did not escape when they 17refused him who 18warned them on earth, 19much less will we escape who turn away from Him who 20warns us from heaven. 26And 21His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “22Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.” 27This expression, “Yet once more,” denotes 23the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28Therefore, since we receive a 24kingdom which cannot be shaken, let’s 25show gratitude, by which we may 26offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; 29for 27our God is a consuming fire.
