< 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 perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.
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 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 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 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 hath spoken in a certain place of the seventh day thus: “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 place again: “They shall not enter into my rest.”
and in this place again, "They will not 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,
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 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.”
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."
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not after this be speaking of another day.
For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a sabbath-rest to the people of God.
There remains therefore a Sabbath 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 who has entered into his rest has himself also 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 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, 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 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 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.
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 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 then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Yeshua, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to 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 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 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 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.
