turned
out of the way, but rather be healed.

(14)Follow peace with all, and holiness, without which no one shall
see the Lord; (15)looking diligently, lest any one come short of the
grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you,
and the many be thereby defiled; (16)lest there be any fornicator, or
profane person, as Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright. (17)For
ye know that he also afterward, when he wished to inherit the
blessing, was rejected; for he found no place of repentance, though he
sought after it with tears.

(18)For ye have not come to a mount that is touched, and burning with
fire, nor to blackness, and darkness, and tempest, (19)and the sound
of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they who heard
refused that more should be spoken to them; (20)for they could not
bear that which was commanded, Even if a beast touch the mountain, it
shall be stoned; (21)and so terrible was the sight, that Moses said: I
fear, and tremble. (22)But ye have come to mount Zion, and to the city
of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,
(23)to the general assembly and church of the first-born, who are
enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of
just ones made perfect; (24)and to Jesus the mediator of the new
covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better than
Abel.

(25)See that ye refuse not him who speaks; for if they did not escape,
refusing him who declared the divine will on earth, much more shall
not we, who turn away from him who speaks from heaven; (26)whose voice
then shook the earth; but now he has promised, saying: Yet once more I
shake, not the earth only, but also heaven. (27)And this, Yet once
more, signifies the removing of the things shaken, as of things that
have been made, that the things which are not shaken may remain.

(28)Wherefore, receiving a kingdom which can not be shaken, let us
have grace whereby we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and
godly fear; (29)for our God is a consuming fire.

XIII.

LET brotherly love continue.

(2)Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some
entertained angels unawares.

(3)Remember those in bonds, as bound with them; those in adversity, as
being yourselves also in the body.

(4)Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled[13:4]; but
fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

(5)Let your disposition be without covetousness, and
