Hebrews 4

Therefore, let us be afraid lest {while} there remains a promise to enter into his rest, any of you might seem to have failed {to attain it}.

For we also are having good news proclaimed {to us} just as to them also. But the message of the hearing did not benefit them, not having been joined in faith with the ones having heard {it}. \*

For we, the ones having believed enter into rest, just as he said, “As I swore in my wrath, ‘…if they will enter into my rest!’” although his works were finished from the foundation of the world.

For he has somewhere spoken thus about the seventh {day}: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.”

And again in this {passage}, “…if they will enter into my rest!” \*

Therefore, since it remains {for} some to enter into it, and the ones previously having had the good news proclaimed {to them} did not enter because of their disobedience,

he again sets a certain day, calling it “Today,” speaking through David after so much time, just as it has already been said, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.” \*

For if Joshua gave them rest, he would not have spoken about another day after these things.

Therefore, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

For the one having entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, just as God {did} from his own {works}.

Therefore, let us be eager to enter into that rest so that no one might fall into the same example of this disobedience. \*

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

And no creature is hidden before him. Instead, all things {are} bare and laid open to the eyes of him to whom {is} our word. \*

Therefore, having a great high priest {who} has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us firmly hold to our confession.

For we do not have a high priest {who} is not able to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one having been tempted according to all things, according to our likeness, {yet} without sin.

Let us then approach with confidence to the throne of grace so that we may receive mercy and find grace for timely help. \*
