MLV(i)
18 For you have not come to a mountain which has been touched and burned with fire and to blackness and to darkness and to whirlwind,
19 and to the noise of a trumpet and to the voice of declarations; which voice those who heard renounced, asking the word not to be added to them.
20 For they were not carrying out what was ordered, ‘Even if a beast might touch the mountain, it will be stoned.’
21 And so fearful was the manifestation, that Moses said, ‘I am fearful and trembling.
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to tens of thousands of messengers,
23 to the festal-gathering and to the congregation of the firstborn ones, who have been registered in the heavens and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous who have been completed,
24 and to Jesus the intermediary of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling which speaks better than that of Abel.
25 Beware that you do not renounce the one who speaks. For if those men did not flee when they renounced the one who divinely-warned them upon the earth, much more we may not flee who are turning away from him, who is from the heavens;
26 whose voice then shook the earth. But now he has promised, saying, ‘Still once for all, I do not only shake the earth, but also the heaven.’
27 And the saying, ‘still once for all,’indicates the transfer of those things which are shaken, as of things which have been made, in order that those things which are not shaken may remain.
28 Hence, receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us have gratitude, through which we give-divine service in ways well pleasing to God, with reverence and piety;
29 for our God is also a consuming fire.
