Hebrews 4

1 Then let us fear, lest at some time, the promise to enter into his rest having been left, some of you may appear to have come short.

Let us fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.

2 For we truly have had the gospel preached unto us, as they did also: but the word of hearing did not profit them, not being mixed with faith to those hearing.

For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard did not profit them, because they were not united by faith with those who heard.

3 For we who have believed, do enter into rest: as he has said, As I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: the works truly having been from the foundations of the world.

For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, "As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;" although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4 For he somewhere has spoken thus in reference to the seventh day, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.

For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;"

5 And in this again he has said, They shall not enter into my rest.

and in this place again, "They will not enter into my rest."

6 Then since it remains that some do enter into it, and those formerly having had the gospel preached unto them did not enter in on account of unbelief,

Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and they to whom the good news was before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,

7 again he appoints a certain day, saying in David, as has previously been said, This day, after so long a time; If you may hear his voice this day, harden not your hearts.

he again appoints a certain day, "Today," saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), "Today if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts."

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not speak concerning another day after these things.

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

9 Therefore there is a sabbatism left for the people of God.

There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

10 For the one having entered into his rest has ceased from his works, as God did from his own.

For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.

11 Therefore let us hasten to enter into that rest, lest some one may fall by the same example of unbelief.

Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.

12 For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and a quick discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

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 is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

13 And no creature is hidden in his presence: but all things are naked and have been laid open to the eyes of him to whom the word is unto us.

There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

14 Therefore having a great high priest, having entered into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the testimony.

Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to our confession.

15 For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched with our infirmities; but one having been tempted as to all things like unto us, apart from sin.

For we do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.

16 Therefore let us draw nigh with confidence to a throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace in every opportune need.

Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.
