Hebrews 12:25-29
New American Standard Bible
The Unshaken Kingdom
25 (A)See to it that you do not refuse Him who is (B)speaking. For (C)if those did not escape when they (D)refused him who (E)warned them on earth, [a]much less will we escape who turn away from Him who (F)warns us from heaven. 26 And (G)His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “(H)Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.” 27 This expression, “Yet once more,” denotes (I)the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we receive a (J)kingdom which cannot be shaken, let’s [b]show gratitude, by which we may (K)offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; 29 for (L)our God is a consuming fire.

Hebrews 12:25-29
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Do Not Refuse The One Warning From Heaven, But Worship Him With Gratitude
25 Be watching-out that you not refuse[a] the One speaking. For if those did not escape, having refused the One warning on earth, much more we will not escape: the ones turning-away-from the One warning from the heavens— 26 Whose voice shook the earth at that time, but now He has promised, saying [in Hag 2:6] “I will shake once more not only the earth, but also the heaven”. 27 And the phrase “once more” indicates the removal of the things being shaken— as of things having been made— so that the things not being shaken may continue. 28 Therefore while receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us have gratitude, through which we may worship[b] God pleasingly[c], with reverence and awe. 29 For indeed our God is a consuming fire.
