chapter 4
1
Let us
fear therefore lest the promise being left of entering into his rest, any of
you should be thought to be wanting.
2 For 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.
3 For 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.
4 For in a certain place he spoke of the seventh day
thus: And God rested the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again: If they shall enter into my
rest.
6 Seeing then it remaineth that some are to enter into
it, and they, to whom it was first preached, did not enter because of unbelief:
7 Again 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.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, he would never have
afterwards spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a day of rest for the
people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, the same also
hath rested from his works, as God did from his.
11 Let us hasten therefore to enter into that rest;
lest any man fall into the same example of unbelief.
12 For 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.
13 Neither is there any creature invisible in his
sight: but all things are naked and open to his eyes, to whom our speech is.
14 Having therefore a great high priest that hath
passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God: let us hold fast our confession.
15 For we have not a high priest, who can not have
compassion on our infirmities: but one tempted in all things like as we are,
without sin.
16 Let us go therefore with confidence to the throne of
grace: that we may obtain mercy, and find grace in seasonable aid.
