“Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:”
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us give thanks (charis, grace), by which we may offer to God an acceptable worship with reverence and awe — the new covenant community receives an unshakable kingdom (basileia); gratitude (eucharisteō, thanksgiving) becomes the appropriate response. Offer worship (latreuo) with reverence (sebas) and awe (eulabeia); God is consuming fire (verse 29).
