| 4:1 |
Therefore, let us fear lest, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it.
|
| 4:2 |
For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard.
|
| 4:3 |
For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, "As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter My rest," although His works were finished from the foundation of the world.
|
| 4:4 |
For He has thus said somewhere concerning the seventh [day], "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works";
|
| 4:5 |
and again in this [passage], "They shall not enter My rest."
|
| 4:6 |
Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience,
|
| 4:7 |
He again fixes a certain day, "Today," saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before, "Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts."
|
| 4:8 |
For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that.
|
| 4:9 |
There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
|
| 4:10 |
For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His.
|
| 4:11 |
Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall through [following] the same example of disobedience.
|
| 4:12 |
For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
|
| 4:13 |
And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.
|
| 4:14 |
Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
|
| 4:15 |
For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as [we are, yet] without sin.
|
| 4:16 |
Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in time of need.
