Hebrews 12:14-29 - Warning Against Rejecting God's Grace
14 Embrace peace with all men, and holiness; without the which, no man shall see the Lord. 15 And look to, that no man be destitute of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness spring up and trouble; and thereby many be defiled: 16 and that there be no fornicator, or unclean person, as Esau, which for one breakfast sold his birthright. 17 Ye know how that afterward when that he would have inherited the blessing, he was put by, and he found no means to come thereby again: no, though he desired it with tears.
18 For ye are not come unto the mount that can be touched, and unto burning fire, nor yet to mist and darkness and tempest of weather, 19 neither unto the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words: which voice they that heard it, wished away, that the communication should not be spoken to them. 20 For they were not able to abide that which was spoken. If a beast had touched the mountain, it must have been stoned, or thrust through with a dart: 21 even so terrible was the sight which appeared. Moses said, "I fear and quake." 22 But ye are come unto the mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the celestial Jerusalem: and to an innumerable sight of angels, 23 and unto the congregation of the first born sons, which are written in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of just and perfect men: 24 and to Jesus, the mediator of the new testament, and to the sprinkling of blood that speaketh better than the blood of Abel.
25 See that ye despise not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not which refused him that spake on earth; Much more shall we not escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26 whose voice then shook the earth, and now declareth, saying "Yet once more will I shake, not the earth only, but also heaven." 27 No doubt the same that he sayeth, "yet once more," signifieth the removing away of those things which are shaken, as of things which have ended their course: that the things which are not shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore if we receive a kingdom which is not moved, we have grace, whereby we may serve God and please him with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.
