4Hebrews 4

1We may fear, then, lest a promise being left of entering into His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short,Select Hebrews 4:1

2for 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,Select Hebrews 4:2

3for 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,Select Hebrews 4:3

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

5and in this place again, `If they shall enter into My rest--;'Select Hebrews 4:5

6since then, it remaineth for certain to enter into it, and those who did first hear good news entered not in because of unbelief--Select Hebrews 4:6

7again 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,'Select Hebrews 4:7

8for if Joshua had given them rest, He would not concerning another day have spoken after these things;Select Hebrews 4:8

9there doth remain, then, a sabbatic rest to the people of God,Select Hebrews 4:9

10for he who did enter into his rest, he also rested from his works, as God from His own.Select Hebrews 4:10

11May we be diligent, then, to enter into that rest, that no one in the same example of the unbelief may fall,Select Hebrews 4:11

12for 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;Select Hebrews 4:12

13and 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.Select Hebrews 4:13

14Having, then, a great chief priest passed through the heavens--Jesus the Son of God--may we hold fast the profession,Select Hebrews 4:14

15for we have not a chief priest unable to sympathise with our infirmities, but one tempted in all things in like manner--apart from sin;Select Hebrews 4:15

16we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of the grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace--for seasonable help.Select Hebrews 4:16
