riversident - Hebrews:12:14-29

riversident@Hebrews:12:14 @ Follow after peace with all men and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

riversident@Hebrews:12:15 @ Be on your guard that no one shall fail of the grace of God, that no bitter root shall sprout up and trouble you and through it many be stained,

riversident@Hebrews:12:16 @ that there shall be none unchaste, or profane like Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright.

riversident@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that afterward when he wished to inherit the blessing he was rejected, for he found no place for a change in his father's mind though he sought it earnestly with tears.

riversident@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you have not come to something that may be touched, ablaze with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest

riversident@Hebrews:12:19 @ and the blast of a trumpet and the sound of words which those who heard begged not to have spoken of them.

riversident@Hebrews:12:20 @ For they could not bear the command, "If even an animal touches the mountain it must be stoned."

riversident@Hebrews:12:21 @ And so dreadful was the sight that Moses said, "I am terrified and trembling."

riversident@Hebrews:12:22 @ But you have come to Mount Zion and the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem, to tens of thousands of angels,

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

riversident@Hebrews:12:24 @ and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant and to the sprinkled blood which tells something better than the blood of Abel.

riversident@Hebrews:12:25 @ Beware of rejecting him who is speaking. For if those did not escape who rejected him who taught the divine will on earth, much less shall we if we reject him who speaks from heaven.

riversident@Hebrews:12:26 @ His voice then shook the earth, but now he has announced, "Yet once for all I shall shake not only the earth but also heaven."

riversident@Hebrews:12:27 @ And this expression "yet once for all" shows the removal of the things shaken, as of things that have been made, that the unshaken things may remain.

riversident@Hebrews:12:28 @ So then, since we are receiving an unshaken kingdom, let us have grace by which we may worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.

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