1Let us fear therefore, lest, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. 2For indeed we have had good tidings preached to us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with those who heard. 3For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he has said, As I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4For he has said somewhere of the seventh day in this way, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works; 5and in this place again, They shall not enter into my rest. 6Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter into it, and they to whom the good tidings were preached before failed to enter in because of disobedience, 7he again appoints a certain day, Today, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as has been said before), Today if you hear his voice, Do not harden your hearts. 8For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day. 9There remains therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God. 10For he who has entered into his rest has himself also 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. 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. 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. 14Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Yeshua the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our infirmities; but one who has been in all points tempted just as we are, yet without sin. 16Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help us in time of need.
