Hebrews 4

1 Let us therefore fear least a promise being left of entering into his rest, any of us should seem to fall short of it: 2 for we are graciously offered as they also were. But the word, which they heard, did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard 3 For we who believe shall enter into rest, as He said “So I sware in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest:” though the works were finished from the foundation of the world: 4 for it is thus said concerning the seventh “And God rested the seventh day from all his works." 5 And yet in this “They shall not enter into my rest." 6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some enter into it, and they to whom it was at first offered did not enter because of unbelief, 7 He appoints a certain day, To-day, saying by David so long after, (as it is recorded) “To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts." 8 For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not afterwards have spoken of another day. 9 There remaineth therefore a rest for the people of God: 10 for he that is entered into his rest, hath also himself ceased from his works, as God from his. 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, least any one fall after the same example of unbelief. 12 For the word of God is lively and efficacious, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and judging the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And there is no creature concealed from his sight: but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him, to whom we are to account. 14 Having therefore a great high-priest, that is passed the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast profession: 15 for we have not an high-priest who cannot sympathize with our infirmities, but was in all tempted in like manner without sin. 16 Let us therefore come with freedom to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace for seasonable help.
