Hebrews 4

1 Therefore we should fear, since a promise of entering His rest still stands, lest any one of you should expect to have come short of it.

Let us fear therefore lest the promise being left of entering into his rest, any of you should be thought to be wanting.

2 Really, because we are continually hearing Good News just like they did, but the word that they heard did not profit them, since they were not intimately united with the faith of those who obeyed.

For unto us also it hath been declared, in like manner as unto them. But the word of hearing did not profit them, not being mixed with faith of those things they heard.

3 Now we who have believed do enter that rest, just as He has said, “So I took an oath in my wrath, ‘As if they will ever enter my rest!’”—His works were certainly finished from the foundation of the world,

For we, who have believed, shall enter into rest; as he said: As I have sworn in my wrath; If they shall enter into my rest; and this indeed when the works from the foundation of the world were finished.

4 because somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day like this, “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works,”

For in a certain place he spoke of the seventh day thus: And God rested the seventh day from all his works.

5 while again, in this place, “As if they will ever enter my rest!”

And in this place again: If they shall enter into my rest.

6 Therefore since it remains for some to enter into it, and those who formerly had the Good News proclaimed to them did not enter because of disobedience,

Seeing then it remaineth that some are to enter into it, and they, to whom it was first preached, did not enter because of unbelief:

7 He again designates a certain day, after such a long time, saying through David: “Today” (as was stated above), “Today, if you would hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”

Again he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, Today, after so long a time, as it is above said: Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

8 Because if Jesus had given them rest, He would not have spoken afterward of another day.

For if Jesus had given them rest, he would never have afterwards spoken of another day.

9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

There remaineth therefore a day of rest for the people of God.

10 Further, the one having entered into His rest has himself also rested from his own works, just as God did from His.

For he that is entered into his rest, the same also hath rested from his works, as God did from his.

11 Therefore, let us take pains to enter into that rest so that no one may fall through the same pattern of disobedience.

Let us hasten therefore to enter into that rest; lest any man fall into the same example of unbelief.

12 Because the Word of God is living and efficient, and sharper than any two-edged sword, actually penetrating to the point of separating soul and spirit, joints and marrow; in fact, it is able to evaluate a heart's reflections and intentions.

For the word of God is living and effectual, and more piercing than any two edged sword; and reaching unto the division of the soul and the spirit, of the joints also and the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from His sight; rather all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

Neither is there any creature invisible in his sight: but all things are naked and open to his eyes, to whom our speech is.

14 Therefore, since we have a Great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the Confession.

Having therefore a great high priest that hath passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God: let us hold fast our confession.

15 For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but He was tested in all points, in similar ways, without sin.

For we have not a high priest, who can not have compassion on our infirmities: but one tempted in all things like as we are, without sin.

16 So let us approach the throne of grace with confidence, that we may receive mercy and find grace, for timely help.

Let us go therefore with confidence to the throne of grace: that we may obtain mercy, and find grace in seasonable aid.
