HEBREWS ยท Chapter 4
4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering
into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but
the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with
faith in them that heard it.
4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I
have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the
works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4:4 For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day likewise, And
God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
4:5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
4:6 Seeing therefore it remains that some must enter therein, and they
to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
4:7 Again, he limits a certain day, saying in David, To day, after
so long a time; as it is said, To day if all of you will hear his voice,
harden not your hearts.
4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have
spoken of another day.
4:9 There remains therefore a rest to the people of God.
4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also has ceased from
his own works, as God did from his.
4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man
fall after the same example of unbelief.
4:12 For the word of God is active, and powerful, and sharper
than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul
and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner
of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
4:13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight:
but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have
to do.
4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into
the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the
feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like we are,
yet without sin.
4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we
may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
