22 but you have come to mount Zion, and to the heavenly Jerusalem, to the city of the living God, and to myriads of angels, 23 to the whole company, and to the church of the first-born, who have been written in the heavens, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of justified people who have been made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, speaking something better than the blood of Abel. 25 See that you do not reject the one speaking: for if they escape not having rejected the one delivering them the divine oracles on earth, how much more shall we not escape, who turn away from the one speaking from the heavens: 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, saying, I will still once shake not only the earth, but also heaven. 27 But he would yet once show the removal of the things shaken, as having been created, in order that the things unshaken may remain. 28 Therefore receiving an unshaken kingdom, let us have grace, through which we may worship God acceptably with reverence and fear: 29 for our God is a consuming fire.
