bwe Hebrews:12:14-29
bwe@Hebrews:12:14 @ Try to be at peace with all people. And try to be holy. If a person is not holy, he will not see the Lord.
bwe@Hebrews:12:15 @ Take care that no one loses Gods blessing. Take care so that no angry feeling starts to grow in anyone. It will make trouble and many people will become bad.
bwe@Hebrews:12:16 @ Take care that no one takes part in wrong ways of using sex. And take care that no one is like Esau and forgets God. He was the older son. But he sold all that he would get from his father. He sold it for a little food.
bwe@Hebrews:12:17 @ You know that later he wanted to get the blessing, but he did not get it. He could not turn back. He even cried as he begged for the blessing.
bwe@Hebrews:12:18 @ You have not come to the mountain that can be touched and is burning with a big fire. You have not come to the place of darkness and night and storm.
bwe@Hebrews:12:19 @ You have not come to a place where a loud trumpet or horn is blown, and a loud voice is talking. When the people heard the voice, they begged that God would not say anything more to them.
bwe@Hebrews:12:20 @ They were afraid of what he said. He said, If even an animal touches this mountain, it must be killed with stones.
bwe@Hebrews:12:21 @ Moses was afraid when he saw all this. He said, I fear very much and I tremble.
bwe@Hebrews:12:22 @ But you have come to a hill called Zion. You have come to the city of the living God. It is the Jerusalem in heaven. You have come to many thousands of angels in a happy gathering.
bwe@Hebrews:12:23 @ You have come to the church people. They are Gods first sons, and their names are written in heaven. You have come to God who is the judge of all people. You have come to the spirits of good people who have been made right.
bwe@Hebrews:12:24 @ You have come to Jesus who is the middle man of a new agreement. You have come to the place where the spilling of his blood has more power than Abels.
bwe@Hebrews:12:25 @ Take care that you listen to God who is talking now. The people were punished when they would not listen to the One who talked on earth. And we will be punished much worse if we will not listen to the One who talks from heaven.
bwe@Hebrews:12:26 @ That time his voice shook the earth. But now he has said, Only once more I will shake the earth and the sky also.
bwe@Hebrews:12:27 @ The words, Only once more mean that the things that are shaken will be taken away. They are things that were made. The things which are not shaken will stay.
bwe@Hebrews:12:28 @ We have a place in heaven that cannot be shaken. So let us be glad and worship God and please him. Let us respect and fear him.
bwe@Hebrews:12:29 @ Our God is a fire that can burn up.
