Hebrews 12:28

Wherefore This splendid strain of comparison and warning ends with a brief and solemn appeal.

let us have grace Or "let us feel thankfulness, whereby, &c."

with reverence and godly fear Another well-supported reading is μετ' εὐλαβείας (Hebrews 5:7; Hebrews 11:7) καὶ δέους "with godly caution and fear." The word δέος for "fear" does not occur elsewhere in the N.T. The same particles καὶ γάρ "for indeed" are used in Hebrews 4:2.
