Hebrews 4

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

Let us therefore fear least a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of us should seem to fall short of it:

2 For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard didn’t profit them, because it wasn’t mixed with faith by those who heard.

for we are graciously offered it, as they also were. But the word, which they heard, did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that 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 believe shall enter into rest, as He said above, "So I sware in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest:" though the works of creation were finished from the foundation of the world:

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

for it is thus said concerning the seventh day, "And God rested the seventh day from all his works."

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

And yet in this place, "They shall not enter into my rest."

6 Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter into it, and they to whom the good news was preached before failed to enter in because of disobedience,

Seeing therefore it remaineth that some are to enter into it, and they to whom it was at first offered did not enter because of their unbelief,

7 he again defines a certain day, “today”, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts.”

He appoints a certain day, called To-day, saying by David so long after, (as it is recorded) "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.

There remaineth therefore a rest 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, hath also himself ceased from his works, as God did from his.

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

Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, least any one fall after the same example of unbelief.

12 For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, 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 lively and efficacious, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of the very joints and marrow, and judging the thoughts and intentions 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 to whom we must give an account.

And there is no creature concealed from his sight: but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him, to whom we are to give an account.

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

Having therefore a great high-priest, that is passed into the heavens, even Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession:

15 For we don’t have a high priest who can’t 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 who cannot sympathize with our infirmities, but was in all respects tempted in like manner with us, yet without sin.

16 Let’s 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 come with freedom to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace for our seasonable help.
