Hebrews 12:25-29

251See to it that you do not refuse Him who is 2speaking. For 3if those did not escape when they 4refused him who 5warned them on earth, 6much less will we escape who turn away from Him who 7warns us from heaven.

26And 8His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “9Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.”

27This expression, “Yet once more,” denotes 10the 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 11kingdom which cannot be shaken, let’s 12show gratitude, by which we may 13offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe;

29for 14our God is a consuming fire.
