Hebrews 12:27-29
J.B. Phillips New Testament
27-29 This means that in this final “shaking” all that is impermanent will be removed, that is, everything that is merely “made”, and only the unshakeable things will remain. Since then we have been given a kingdom that is “unshakeable”, let us serve God with thankfulness in the ways which please him, but always with reverence and holy fear. For it is perfectly true that our ‘God is a burning fire’.

Hebrews 12:27-29
New International Version
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)
