18For ye are not come unto xthe mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, 19And ythe sound of a trumpet, and yythe voice of words; which voice zthey that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: 20(For they could not endure that which was commanded, aAnd if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: 21And bso terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I cexceedingly fear and quake:) 22But ye are come unto dmount Sion, and unto ethe city of fthe living God, gthe heavenly Jerusalem, and hto an iinnumerable company of angels, 23To the general assembly and jchurch of kthe firstborn, lwhich are ||written in heaven, and to mGod the Judge of all, and to nthe spirits of just men omade perfect, 24And to Jesus pthe mediator of the new ||qcovenant, and to rthe blood of sprinkling, that speaketh sbetter things than tthat of Abel. 25See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For uif they escaped not vwho refused him that wspake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26xWhose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, yYet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27And this word, Yet once more, signifieth zthe removing of those things that ||are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, ||let us have grace, whereby we may aserve God bacceptably with reverence and cgodly fear: 29For our dGod is ea consuming fire.
