Hebrews 4
1Let us therefore fear, lest a promise being left [us] of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2For 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]. 3For 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. 4For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God rested the seventh day from all his works. 5And in this [place] again, If they shall enter into my rest. 6Seeing 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. 8For if Jesus had given them rest, then he would not afterward have spoken of another day. 9There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10For he that hath entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God [did] from his.) 11Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. 12For 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. 13Neither 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. 14Seeing 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. 15For 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. 16Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
