lont - Hebrews:12:14-29

lont@Hebrews:12:14 @ Pursue peace with all men, and holiness, without which, no one shall see the Lord:

lont@Hebrews:12:15 @ carefully observing, lest any one come short of the favor of God; lest some bitter root springing up, trouble you, and by it many be polluted;

lont@Hebrews:12:16 @ lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau; who, for one meal, gave away his birthrights.

lont@Hebrews:12:17 @ And you know, that although afterward he wished to inherit the blessing, he was reprobated: for he found no scope for effecting a change, though he earnestly sought it with tears.

lont@Hebrews:12:18 @ Now you are not come to a tangible mountain, which burned with fire; and to blackness, and to darkness, and to tempest,

lont@Hebrews:12:19 @ and to the sound of a trumpet, and to the voice of words, the hearers of which earnestly entreated that a word more might not be addressed to them:

lont@Hebrews:12:20 @ «for they could not bear this threat,» 'Even if a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned.'

lont@Hebrews:12:21 @ «And so terrible was the appearance, that Moses said,» 'I exceedingly fear and tremble.'

lont@Hebrews:12:22 @ But you are come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of messengers,

lont@Hebrews:12:23 @ to the general assembly and congregation of the first-born, who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

lont@Hebrews:12:24 @ and to Jesus the mediator of the new institution, and to the blood of sprinkling, which speaks better things than that of Abel.

lont@Hebrews:12:25 @ Take care that you refuse not him who speaks: for if they did not escape, who refused him who spoke on earth, much more we shall not escape, who turn away from him that speaks from heaven:

lont@Hebrews:12:26 @ «whose voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, saying,» 'Yet once I shake not the earth only, but also the heavens.'

lont@Hebrews:12:27 @ «Now this speech,» 'YET ONCE,' 'signifies the removing of the things shaken, as of things which were constituted, that the things not shaken may remain.'

lont@Hebrews:12:28 @ Wherefore, we having received a kingdom not shaken, let us have gratitude, by which we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and religious fear.

lont@Hebrews:12:29 @ For truly our God is a consuming fire.
