Hebrews 12:23-25

GOD’S WORD Translation

²³ and to the assembly of God’s firstborn children (whose names are written in heaven). You have come to a judge (the God of all people) and to the spirits of people who have God’s approval and have gained eternal life. ²⁴ You have come to Jesus, who brings the new promise ^[a] from God, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better message than Abel’s.

²⁵ Be careful that you do not refuse to listen when God speaks. Your ancestors didn’t escape when they refused to listen to God, who warned them on earth. We certainly won’t escape if we turn away from God, who warns us from heaven.
