Hebrews 4

4:1 Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. 4:2 For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened. 4:3 For we who have believed enter that rest, 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. 4:4 For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works." 4:5 And again in this passage he said, "They shall not enter my rest." 4:6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, 4:7 again he appoints a certain day, "Today," saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted, "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts." 4:8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. 4:9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, 4:10 for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his. 4:11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 4:13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account. 4:14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 4:16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
