Hebrews 12:27-29
1599 Geneva Bible
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things which are shaken, as of things which are made with hands, that the things which are not shaken, may remain.
28 [a]Wherefore seeing we receive a kingdom, which cannot be shaken, let us have grace whereby we may so serve God, that we may please him with [b]reverence and [c]fear.
29 For (A)even our God is a consuming fire.

27 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken(A)—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken,(B) let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,(C) 29 for our “God is a consuming fire.”[a](D)
