| Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it. | |
| For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard. | |
| For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, "AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST," although His works were finished from the foundation of the world. | |
| For He has said somewhere concerning the seventh {day:} "AND GOD RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORKS"; | |
| and again in this {passage,} "THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST." | |
| Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience, | |
| He again fixes a certain day, "Today," saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before, "TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS." | |
| For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that. | |
| So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. | |
| For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His. | |
| Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through {following} the same example of disobedience. | |
| For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. | |
| And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. | |
| Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. | |
| For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as {we are, yet} without sin. | |
| Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. |
