12:22 - [In Context |Original Greek ]But you R559 have come to Mount Zion and to the R560 city of the R561 living God, the R562 heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads R563 of angels, F147
12:23 - [In Context |Original Greek ]to the general assembly and church R564 of the firstborn who are R565 enrolled in heaven, and to God, the R566 Judge of all, and to the spirits R567 of {the} righteous made perfect,
12:24 - [In Context |Original Greek ]and to Jesus, the mediator R568 of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled R569 blood, which speaks better than {the R570 blood} of Abel.
12:25 - [In Context |Original Greek ]See R571 to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. R572 For if R573 those did not escape when they refused R574 him who warned R575 {them} on earth, much F148 less {will} we {escape} who turn away from Him who {warns} R576 from heaven.
12:26 - [In Context |Original Greek ]And His R577 voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, "YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN."
12:27 - [In Context |Original Greek ]This {expression,} "Yet once more," denotes the R578 removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
12:28 - [In Context |Original Greek ]Therefore, since we receive a kingdom R579 which cannot be shaken, let us show F149 gratitude, by which we may offer R580 to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe;
12:29 - [In Context |Original Greek ]for our R581 God is a consuming fire.
