Chapter 4

1


 

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

 

 

-

2


 

  for 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,  

 

 

-

3


 

  for 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,  

 

 

-

4


 

  for He spake in a certain place concerning the seventh [day] thus: 'And God did rest in the seventh day from all His works;'  

 

 

-

5


 

  and in this [place] again, 'If they shall enter into My rest -- ;'  

 

 

-

6


 

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

 

 

-

7


 

  again 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,'  

 

 

-

8


 

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

 

 

-

9


 

  there doth remain, then, a sabbatic rest to the people of God,  

 

 

-

10


 

  for he who did enter into his rest, he also rested from his works, as God from His own.  

 

 

-

11


 

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

 

 

-

12


 

  for 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;  

 

 

-

13


 

  and 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.  

 

 

-

14


 

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

 

 

-

15


 

  for we have not a chief priest unable to sympathise with our infirmities, but [one] tempted in all things in like manner -- apart from sin;  

 

 

-

16


 

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