Hebrews 12:24-26
New Century Version
24 You have come to Jesus, the One who brought the new agreement from God to his people, and you have come to the sprinkled blood[a] that has a better message than the blood of Abel.[b]
25 So be careful and do not refuse to listen when God speaks. Others refused to listen to him when he warned them on earth, and they did not escape. So it will be worse for us if we refuse to listen to God who warns us from heaven. 26 When he spoke before, his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once again I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”[c]

Hebrews 12:24-26
New International Version
24 to Jesus the mediator(A) of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood(B) that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.(C)
25 See to it that you do not refuse(D) him who speaks.(E) If they did not escape when they refused him who warned(F) them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven?(G) 26 At that time his voice shook the earth,(H) but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”[a](I)
