Hebrews 4

1 Let us then fear, since a promise is still left us of entering into his rest, lest any one of you should appear to fail of obtaining 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 For to us were glad tidings addressed, as well as to them; but the word which was heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

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 For we who believed enter into the rest, as he hath said: “So I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest;” although the works were 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 For he hath spoken in a certain place of the seventh day thus: “And God rested on the seventh day 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 and in this place again: “They shall not enter into my rest.”

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

6 Since then it still remaineth for some to enter into it, and they to whom the glad tidings of it were first brought did not enter in 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 appointeth a certain day, “To-day”—saying in David so long a time after, as hath before been said—”To-day, if ye hear his voice, harden not 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 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not after this be speaking of another day.

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

9 There remaineth therefore a sabbath-rest to the people of God.

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

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

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

11 Let us then strive to enter into that rest, that no one may fall, as a like example of disobedience.

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

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

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

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 Since, then, we have a great high-priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

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 have not a high-priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who hath in all points been tempted as we are, 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 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

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