| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2For 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. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.” |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5And again in this passage he said, “They shall not enter my rest.” |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7again 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.” |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12For 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. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15For 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. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Let 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. |
