Hebrews 12:27-29

WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[27] This phrase, "Yet once more," signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain. [28] Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can't be shaken, let us have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe, [29] for our God is a consuming fire.
