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
they also did, but the word they heard didn't profit them, because it
wasn't 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 this
somewhere about the seventh day, "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 was 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, lest anyone 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 is able to discern the thoughts and intentions 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 help in time
of need.
