kjc Hebrews:12:14-29 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Follow peace with all men ,
and holiness ,
without which no man shall see the Lord :
*
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God ;
lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you ,
and thereby many be defiled ;
*
Lest there be any fornicator ,
or profane person ,
as Esau ,
who for one morsel of food sold his birthright .
*
For you know that afterward ,
when he would have inherited the blessing ,
he was rejected :
for he found no place of repentance ,
though he sought it anxiously with tears .
*
For you are not come unto the mount that might be touched ,
and that burned with fire ,
nor unto blackness ,
and darkness ,
and tempest ,
*
And the sound of a trumpet ,
and the voice of words ;
which voice they that heard entreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more :
* (
For they could not endure that which was commanded ,
And if so much as a beast touch the mountain ,
it shall be stoned ,
or thrust through with a dart :
*
And so terrible was the sight ,
that Moses said ,
I exceedingly fear and quake :)
*
But you are come unto mount Sion ,
and unto the city of the living God ,
the heavenly Jerusalem ,
and to an innumerable company of angels ,
*
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn ,
which are written in heaven ,
and to God the Judge of all ,
and to the spirits of just men made perfect ,
*
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant ,
and to the blood of sprinkling ,
that speaks better things that that of Abel .
*
See that you refuse not him that speaks .
For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth ,
much more shall not we escape ,
if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven :
*
Whose voice then shook the earth :
but now he has promised ,
saying ,
yet once more I shake not the earth only ,
but also heaven .
*
And this word ,
yet once more ,
signifies the removing of those things that are shaken ,
as of things that are made ,
that those things which cannot be shaken may remain .
*
Therefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved ,
let us have grace ,
whereby we may serve God acceptably with respect and godly fear :
*
For our God is a consuming fire .
