Hebrews
Hebrews 12:27–28
27The words “Once more” signify the removal of what can be shaken — that is, created things — so that the unshakable may remain.
28Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.
