22 But ayou have come to Mount Zion and to bthe city of cthe living God, dthe heavenly Jerusalem, and to emyriads of 1angels,

23 to the general assembly and achurch of the firstborn who bare enrolled in heaven, and to God, cthe Judge of all, and to the dspirits of the righteous made perfect,

24 and to Jesus, the amediator of a new covenant, and to the bsprinkled blood, which speaks better than cthe blood of Abel.

The Unshaken Kingdom

25 aSee to it that you do not refuse Him who is bspeaking. For cif those did not escape when they drefused him who ewarned them on earth, 1much less will we escape who turn away from Him who ewarns from heaven.

26 And aHis voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “bYet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.”

27 This expression, “Yet once more,” denotes athe removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

28 Therefore, since we receive a akingdom which cannot be shaken, let us 1show gratitude, by which we may boffer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe;

29 for aour God is a consuming fire.
