Hebrews 12:14-29
Heb 12:14
Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:Heb 12:15
looking carefully lest there be any man that falleth short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby the many be defiled;Heb 12:16
lest there be any fornication, or profane person, as Esau, who for one mess of meat sold his own birthright.Heb 12:17
For ye know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for a change of mind in his father, though he sought is diligently with tears.Heb 12:18
For ye are not come unto a mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,Heb 12:19
and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard entreated that no word more should be spoken unto them;Heb 12:20
for they could not endure that which was enjoined, If even a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned;Heb 12:21
and so fearful was the appearance, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:Heb 12:22
but ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable hosts of angels,Heb 12:23
to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,Heb 12:24
and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better than that of Abel.Heb 12:25
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not when they refused him that warned them on earth, much more shall not we escape who turn away from him that warneth from heaven:Heb 12:26
whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven.Heb 12:27
And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.Heb 12:28
Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe:Heb 12:29
for our God is a consuming fire.Back to Mount St. Helens Document
