Hebrews 4

1Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it.

1Let us fear therefore lest, the promise being left of entering into his rest, any of you should be thought to be wanting.

2For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.

2For unto us also it hath been declared in like manner as unto them. But the word of hearing did not profit them, not being mixed with faith of those things they heard.

3For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

3For we, who have believed, shall enter into rest; as he said: As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest; and this indeed when the works from the foundation of the world were finished.

4For he hath said somewhere of the seventh day on this wise, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;

4For in a certain place he spoke of the seventh day thus: And God rested the seventh day from all his works.

5and in this place again, They shall not enter into my rest.

5And in this place again: If they shall enter into my rest.

6Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,

6Seeing then it remaineth that some are to enter into it, and they to whom it was first preached did not enter because of unbelief:

7he again defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before), To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.

7Again he limiteth a certain day, saying in David; To day, after so long a time as it is above said: To day if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

8For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.

8For if Jesus had given them rest he would never have afterwards spoken of another day.

9There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God.

9There remaineth therefore a day of rest for the people of God.

10For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.

10For he that is entered into his rest, the same also hath rested from his works, as God did from his.

11Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall after the same example of disobedience.

11Let us hasten therefore to enter into that rest: lest any man fall into the same example of unbelief.

12For 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.

12For the word of God is living and effectual and more piercing than any two edged sword; and reaching unto the division of the soul and the spirit, of the joints also and the marrow: and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

13And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

13Neither is there any creature invisible in his sight: but all things are naked and open to his eyes, to whom our speech is.

14Having then a great high priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

14Having therefore a great high priest that hath passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God: let us hold fast our confession.

15For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

15For we have not a high priest who cannot have compassion on our infirmities: but one tempted in all things like as we are, without sin.

16Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help us in time of need.

16Let us go therefore with confidence to the throne of grace: that we may obtain mercy and find grace in seasonable aid.
