- Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
- See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.
- See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son.
- Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. He could bring about no change of mind, though he sought the blessing with tears.

- For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind,
|
- to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them,
- because they could not bear what was commanded: "If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned."
- The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, "I am trembling with fear."
- But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly,
- to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the judge of all men, to the spirits of righteous men made perfect,

- to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

- Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,
|
- and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel.
- See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven.

- This expression, "Yet once more," denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
- Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe;
|
- for our "God is a consuming fire."
|
