Hebrews 4

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

LET us fear then lest, though a promise be left of entering into his rest, any one of you should appear to fail of obtaining it.

2 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.

For we are hearing the same gospel preached as they did; but the word heard did not profit them, not being incorporated by faith with those who heard it.

3 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.

For we who have believed, have entered into the rest, even as he said, “So, I sware in my wrath, that they shall not enter into my rest;” and that notwithstanding the works were done from the foundation of the world.

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

For he said in a certain passage concerning the seventh day to this purport, “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.”

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

And in this passage again, “They shall not enter into my rest.”

6 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,

Forasmuch therefore as it remaineth for some to enter into it, and they who first had the gospel preached to them entered not in because of unbelief;

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

again he limiteth a certain day, saying by 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 Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.

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

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

A sabbatical rest then still remaineth for the people of God.

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

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

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

Let us then earnestly endeavour to enter into that rest, lest any person fall after the same example of unbelief.

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

For the word of God is quickening, and energetic, and sharper than every two-edged sword, and piercing through and through, so as to divide both soul and spirit, both joints and spinal marrow, and critically judges the thoughts and intents of the heart.

13 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.

Even creation is not invisible before him, but all things are naked, and fully displayed before his eyes, to whom we must give our account.

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

Having then a great high-priest passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession.

15 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.

For we have not an high-priest incapable of a fellow-feeling with our infirmities, but one tempted in all points, in exact resemblance with ourselves, sin excepted.

16 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.

Let us therefore approach with boldness the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace for seasonable help.
