mnt - Hebrews:12:14-29

mnt@Hebrews:12:14 @ Run swiftly after peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.

mnt@Hebrews:12:15 @ Look carefully that there be no one who falls back from the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springs up to trouble you, and by its means many become defiled.

mnt@Hebrews:12:16 @ Take care lest there be any fornicator or scorner like Esau among you, who for one meal sold his birthright.

mnt@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; he found no room for repentance, though he sought it earnestly, with tears.

mnt@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you are not come to a palpable and enkindled fire,

mnt@Hebrews:12:19 @ nor to gloom and darkness and tempest and the blare of a trumpet and an audible voice. Those who heard that voice entreated that no word more should be spoken to them.

mnt@Hebrews:12:20 @ For they could not endure that which was enjoined, Even if a wild beast touches the mountain it shall be stoned to death;

mnt@Hebrews:12:21 @ and so terrible was the scene that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and tremble.

mnt@Hebrews:12:22 @ On the contrary you are come to Mount Zion, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to innumerable hosts of angels,

mnt@Hebrews:12:23 @ to the festal assemblage and church of the firstborn, registered in heaven, to a Judge who is God of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,

mnt@Hebrews:12:24 @ to Jesus the Mediator of the New Covenant, and to his sprinkled Blood whose message cries louder than that of Abel.

mnt@Hebrews:12:25 @ See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape punishment when they refused to listen to their instructor on earth, much less shall we escape if we turn away from him who is teaching us from heaven;

mnt@Hebrews:12:26 @ whose voice then shook the earth, but now he has promised, saying, Once again, once for all, I make not only earth, but heaven also to tremble.

mnt@Hebrews:12:27 @ That phrase, "Once again," signifies the removal of the things which can be shaken, created things, in order that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

mnt@Hebrews:12:28 @ Wherefore since we are receiving a kingdom which is unshakable, let us give thanks, and so offer acceptable worship to God, with holy awe and fear,

mnt@Hebrews:12:29 @ FOR INDEED OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE.
