< Hebrews 4 >
1 Let us therefore fear, lest a promise being left [us] of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
ⲁ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲥⲱϫⲡ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲁ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣϧⲁ⳿ⲉ.
2 For to us was the gospel preached, as well as to them: but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard [it].
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲛ ϩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ϫⲉ ⲡⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲑⲏⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ.
3 For we who have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4 For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God rested the seventh day from all his works.
ⲇ̅ⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϩⲓⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲁϩⲍ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁϥ⳿ⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲁϩⲍ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
5 And in this [place] again, If they shall enter into my rest.

6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter into it, and they to whom it was first preached entered not because of unbelief:

7 (Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To-day, after so long a time; as it is said, To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⳿ϥⲑⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲫⲟⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲇⲁⲩⲓⲇ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲙⲁⲓⲏ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲉⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣϯⲉⲛϣⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then he would not afterward have spoken of another day.

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

10 For he that hath entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God [did] from his.)
ⲓ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ϩⲱϥ ⲁϥ⳿ⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ.
11 Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after 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, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅⳿ϥⲉⲛϩⲟⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥϣⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲥⲏϥⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟ ⲃ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲛⲁ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲁ ⲡⲓⲫⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓϩⲱⲧⲡ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲁⲧⲕⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲟⲧϧⲉⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲓⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things [are] naked and opened to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲛⲧ ϩⲏⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⲥⲉⲃⲏϣ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲉⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲁⲣⲁⲃ ⲛⲁϩⲃⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲃⲁⲗ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲫⲉϩ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, that hath passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our] profession.

15 For we have not a high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but who was in all points tempted as [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.
