Hebrews 12:18-19
English Standard Version
A Kingdom That Cannot Be Shaken
18 For you have not come to (A)what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a tempest 19 and (B)the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words (C)made the hearers beg that no further messages be spoken to them.

Hebrews 12:22-29
English Standard Version
22 But you have come to (A)Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, (B)the heavenly Jerusalem, and to (C)innumerable angels in festal gathering, 23 and to (D)the assembly[a] of the firstborn who are (E)enrolled in heaven, and to (F)God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24 and to Jesus, (G)the mediator of a new covenant, and to (H)the sprinkled blood (I)that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
25 See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For (J)if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. 26 At that time (K)his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, (L)“Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” 27 This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates (M)the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving (N)a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus (O)let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, 29 for our (P)God is a consuming fire.

Luke 13:22-30
English Standard Version
The Narrow Door
22 (A)He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching and (B)journeying toward Jerusalem. 23 And someone said to him, “Lord, (C)will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them, 24 (D)“Strive (E)to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25 (F)When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, (G)‘Lord, open to us,’ then he will answer you, (H)‘I do not know where you come from.’ 26 Then you will begin to say, (I)‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ 27 But he will say, ‘I tell you, (J)I do not know where you come from. (K)Depart from me, all you workers of evil!’ 28 (L)In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see (M)Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but (N)you yourselves cast out. 29 And (O)people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and (P)recline at table in the kingdom of God. 30 And behold, (Q)some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”
