The Letter to the Hebrews, Chapter 4
{4:1} Let us fear therefore, lest perhaps a promise being left of
entering into his rest, anyone of you should seem to have come short
of it. {4:2} For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as
also they, but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was
not mixed with faith by those who heard. {4:3} 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.
{4:4} For he has said somewhere about the seventh day like this, "God
rested on the seventh day from all his works;" {4:5} and in this place
again, "They will not enter into my rest."
{4:6} Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter therein,
and they to whom the good news were before preached failed to enter in
because of disobedience, {4:7} 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."
{4:8} For if Yehoshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken
afterward of another day. {4:9} There remains therefore a Shabbat rest
for the people of God. {4:10} For he who has entered into his rest has
himself also rested from his works, as God did from his. {4:11} Let us
therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall
after the same example of disobedience. {4:12} 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 quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart. {4:13}
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.
{4:14} Having then a great [1>]Kohen Gadol[<1], who has passed through
the heavens, Yeshua, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to our
confession. {4:15} For we don't have a [2>]Kohen Gadol[<2] 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. {4:16} Let us
therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may
receive mercy, and may find grace for timely help.
