¹ Let us therefore fear, in case, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. ² For+ to us was the gospel preached, as well as to them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard [it]. ³ For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they will enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. ⁴ For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh+ day from all his works. ⁵ And in this place again, If they will enter into my rest. ⁶ Seeing therefore it remains that some must enter in it+ , and they to who it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: ⁷ Again, he limits a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. ⁸ For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward+ have spoken of another day. ⁹ There remains therefore a rest to the people of God. ¹⁰ For he that is entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his. ¹¹ Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, in case any man fall after the same example of unbelief. ¹² For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and+ spirit, and+ of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. ¹³ Neither+ is there any creature that is not reveal in his sight: but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of him with who we have to do. ¹⁴ Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. ¹⁵ For we have not a high priest which cannot+ be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted+ like as we are, yet without sin. ¹⁶ Let us therefore come boldly+ to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
