The word Therefore introduces an inference or conclusion that the author draws from what he has said about “shaking” in [12:26–27](../12/26.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an inference or conclusion from an argument. Alternate translation: [Because of that] or [So then]

μετὰ εὐλαβείας καὶ δέους

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διό βασιλείαν ἀσάλευτον παραλαμβάνοντες ἔχωμεν χάριν διʼ ἧς λατρεύωμεν εὐαρέστως τῷ Θεῷ μετά εὐλαβείας καί δέους)

μετὰ εὐλαβείας καὶ δέους

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διό βασιλείαν ἀσάλευτον παραλαμβάνοντες ἔχωμεν χάριν διʼ ἧς λατρεύωμεν εὐαρέστως τῷ Θεῷ μετά εὐλαβείας καί δέους)

The words reverence and awe function together to identify a reverent and fearing attitude. It is possible that reverence refers to proper respect towards a deity, while awe refers to fear in general. If you do not have two words for these categories, you could use a single word or phrase to identify an attitude of fearing reverence. Alternate translation: [with respectful fear] or [with reverent piety]
