12 So (A)the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

13 Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, (B)sold under sin.

11 (A)I gave them my statutes and made known to them my rules, (B)by which, if a person does them, he shall live. 12 Moreover, I gave them (C)my Sabbaths, as a sign between me and them, (D)that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them. 13 (E)But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. (F)They did not walk in my statutes but rejected my rules, by which, if a person does them, he shall live; (G)and my Sabbaths they greatly profaned.

    (B)reviving the soul;
(C)the testimony of the Lord is (D)sure,
    (E)making wise (F)the simple;
(G)the precepts of the Lord are right,
    rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is (H)pure,
    (I)enlightening the eyes;
the fear of the Lord is clean,
    enduring forever;
the rules[b] of the Lord are (J)true,

10 More to be desired are they than (K)gold,
    even much (L)fine gold;
(M)sweeter also than honey

22 “These words the Lord spoke to all your assembly (A)at the mountain out of the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick darkness, with a loud voice; and he added no more. And (B)he wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me. 23 And (C)as soon as you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes, and your elders. 24 And you said, ‘Behold, the Lord our God has shown us his glory and (D)greatness, and (E)we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire. This day we have seen God speak with man, and man (F)still live. 25 Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. (G)If we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, we shall die. 26 (H)For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of fire as we have, and has still lived?

16 On the morning of the (A)third day there were (B)thunders and lightnings and (C)a thick cloud on the mountain and a very loud (D)trumpet blast, so that all the people in the camp (E)trembled. 17 Then (F)Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they took their stand at the foot of the mountain. 18 Now (G)Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke because the Lord had descended on it in fire. The smoke of it went up like the smoke of a kiln, and (H)the whole mountain trembled greatly. 19 And as the (I)sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and (J)God answered him in thunder. 20 The Lord came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

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. 20 For they could not endure the order that was given, (D)“If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.” 21 Indeed, (E)so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I tremble with fear.” 22 But you have come to (F)Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, (G)the heavenly Jerusalem, and to (H)innumerable angels in festal gathering, 23 and to (I)the assembly[a] of the firstborn who are (J)enrolled in heaven, and to (K)God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24 and to Jesus, (L)the mediator of a new covenant, and to (M)the sprinkled blood (N)that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

25 See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For (O)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 (P)his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, (Q)“Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”
