Seeker Overlay ON
*
Follow after peace with all men ,
and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord :
*
looking carefully lest [
there be ]
any man who falls short of the grace of God ;
lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [
you (
note :){+}(:
note )],
and by it many be defiled ;
*
lest [
there be ]
any fornicator ,
or profane person ,
as Esau ,
who for one mess of meat sold his own birthright .
*
For you (
note :){+}(:
note )
know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing ,
he was rejected ;
for he found no place for a change of mind [
in his father ,]
though he sought it diligently with tears .
*
For you (
note :){+}(:
note )
have not come to [
a mount ]
that might be touched ,
and that burned with fire ,
and to blackness ,
and darkness ,
and tempest ,
*
and the sound of a trumpet ,
and the voice of words ;
which [
voice ]
those who heard entreated that no word more should be spoken to them ;
*
for they could not endure that which was enjoined ,
If even a beast touches the mountain ,
it will be stoned ;
*
and so fearful was the appearance , [
that ]
Moses said ,
I exceedingly fear and quake :
*
but you (
note :){+}(:
note )
have come to mount Zion ,
and to the city of the living God ,
the heavenly Jerusalem ,
and to tens of thousands of angels in a festive gathering ,
*
and to the church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven ,
and to God the Judge of all ,
and to the spirits of just men made perfect ,
*
and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant ,
and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than [
that of ]
Abel .
*
See that you (
note :){+}(:
note )
do not refuse him who speaks .
For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned [
them ]
on earth ,
much more [
will ]
we [
not escape ]
who turn away from him who [
warns ]
from heaven :
*
whose voice then shook the earth :
but now he has promised ,
saying ,
Yet once more I will make to tremble not the earth only ,
but also the heaven .
*
And this [
word ],
Yet once more ,
signifies the removing of those things that are shaken ,
as of things that have been made ,
that those things which are not shaken may stay .
*
Therefore ,
receiving a kingdom that can '
t be shaken ,
let us have grace ,
by which we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe :
*
for our God is a consuming fire .
