Hebrews 4

1 We may fear, then, lest a promise being left of entering into His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short,

Let vs feare therefore, least at any time by forsaking the promise of entring into his rest, any of you should seeme to be depriued.

2 for we also are having good news proclaimed, even as they, but the word heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard,

For vnto vs was the Gospel preached as also vnto them: but the worde that they heard, profited not them, because it was not mixed with faith in those that heard it.

3 for we do enter into the rest — we who did believe, as He said, 'So I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest —;' and yet the works were done from the foundation of the world,

For we which haue beleeued, doe enter into rest, as he said to the other, As I haue sworne in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest: although the workes were finished from the foundation of the world.

4 for He spake in a certain place concerning the seventh [day] thus: 'And God did rest in the seventh day from all His works;'

For he spake in a certaine place of the seuenth day on this wise, And God did rest the seuenth day from all his workes.

5 and in this [place] again, 'If they shall enter into My rest —;'

And in this place againe, If they shall enter into my rest.

6 since then, it remaineth for certain to enter into it, and those who did first hear good news entered not in because of unbelief —

Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter thereinto, and they to whom it was first preached, entred not therein for vnbeliefes sake:

7 again He doth limit a certain day, 'To-day,' (in David saying, after so long a time, ) as it hath been said, 'To-day, if His voice ye may hear, ye may not harden your hearts,'

Againe he appointed in Dauid a certaine day, by To day, after so long a time, saying, as it is sayd, This day, if ye heare his voyce, harden not your hearts.

8 for if Joshua had given them rest, He would not concerning another day have spoken after these things;

For if Iesus had giuen them rest, then would he not after this haue spoke of an other day.

9 there doth remain, then, a sabbatic rest to the people of God,

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

10 for he who did enter into his rest, he also rested from his works, as God from His own.

For he that is entred into his rest, hath also ceased from his owne works, as God did from his.

11 May we be diligent, then, to enter into that rest, that no one in the same example of the unbelief may fall,

Let vs studie therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same ensample of disobedience.

12 for the reckoning of God is living, and working, and sharp above every two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing asunder both of soul and spirit, of joints also and marrow, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart;

For the worde of God is liuely, and mightie in operation, and sharper then any two edged sword, and entreth through, euen vnto the diuiding asunder of the soule and the spirit, and of the ioints, and the marow, and is a discerner of the thoughtes, and the intents of the heart.

13 and there is not a created thing not manifest before Him, but all things [are] naked and open to His eyes — with whom is our reckoning.

Neither is there any creature, which is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and open vnto his eyes, with whome we haue to doe.

14 Having, then, a great chief priest passed through the heavens — Jesus the Son of God — may we hold fast the profession,

Seeing then that wee haue a great hie Priest, which is entred into heauen, euen Iesus the Sonne of God, let vs holde fast our profession.

15 for we have not a chief priest unable to sympathise with our infirmities, but [one] tempted in all things in like manner — apart from sin;

For we haue not an hie Priest, which can not be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all things tempted in like sort, yet without sinne.

16 we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of the grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace — for seasonable help.

Let vs therefore goe boldly vnto ye throne of grace, that we may receiue mercy, and finde grace to helpe in time of neede.
