Hebrews 12:22-13:4

New King James Version

²² But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, ²³ to the ^[a]general assembly and church of ^(A)the firstborn ^(B)who are registered in heaven, to God ^(C)the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men ^(D)made perfect, ²⁴ to Jesus ^(E)the Mediator of the new covenant, and to ^(F)the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things ^(G)than that of Abel.

Hear the Heavenly Voice

²⁵ See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For ^(H)if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, ²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, ^(I)“Yet once more I ^[b]shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” ²⁷ Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the ^(J)removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

²⁸ Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we ^[c]may ^(K)serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. ²⁹ For ^(L)our God is a consuming fire.

Concluding Moral Directions

13 Let ^(M)brotherly love continue. ^2 (N)Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing ^(O)some have unwittingly entertained angels. ^3 (P)Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.

^4 (Q)Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; ^(R)but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
