Hebrews 4

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]

4:1 Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it.

4:2 For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.

4:3 For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4:4 For he hath said somewhere of the seventh `day' on this wise, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;

4:5 and in this `place' again, They shall not enter into my rest.

4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,

4:7 he again defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before), To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.

4:8 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.

4:9 There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God.

4:10 For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.

4:11 Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall after 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 even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.

4:13 And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

4:14 Having then a great high priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

4:15 For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as `we are, yet' without sin.

4:16 Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help `us' in time of need.
