Hebrews 12:26-28
1599 Geneva Bible
26 [a]Whose voice then shook the earth, and now hath declared, saying, (A)Yet [b]once more will I shake, not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things which are shaken, as of things which are made with hands, that the things which are not shaken, may remain.
28 [c]Wherefore seeing we receive a kingdom, which cannot be shaken, let us have grace whereby we may so serve God, that we may please him with [d]reverence and [e]fear.
