New Testament

Hebrews 12:16-21 New International Version (NIV)

16. See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son.

17. Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. Even though he sought the blessing with tears, he could not change what he had done.

18. You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm;

19. to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them,

20. because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.”

21. The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”
