Hebrews 4
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
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. 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. 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 For he spake in a certain place of the
seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his
works. 5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my
rest. 6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein,
and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: 7 Again,
he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it
is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. 8 For
if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another
day. 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10 For
he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God
did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall
after the same example of unbelief. 12 For the word of God is
quick, 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. 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. 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. 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 as we are, yet without sin. 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.
