Hebrews 4:1-11 ▼

1 Let vs feare therfore, lest at any tyme, by forsakyng the promise of entryng into his reste, any of you shoulde be defrauded.

2 For vnto vs was the Gospell preached, aswell as vnto them: But the worde whiche they hearde dyd not profite them, not beyng coupled with fayth to them that hearde.

3 For we which haue beleued, do enter into his rest, as he sayde: Euen as I haue sworne in my wrath, if they shal enter into my rest. Although the workes were made perfecte from the foundation of the worlde.

4 For he spake in a certayne place of the seuenth daye on this wyse: And God dyd rest the seuenth daye from all his workes.

5 And in this place againe: yf they shall enter into my rest.

6 Seing therfore it foloweth, that some must enter there into, and they to who the Gospell was first preached entred not therin for vnbeliefe.

7 Againe, he appoynteth a certaine day, by to day, saying in Dauid after so long a tyme (as it is sayde:) To day yf ye wyl heare his voyce, harde not your hearts.

8 For yf Iesus had geuen them reste, then woulde he not afterwarde haue spoken of another day.

9 There remayneth therfore yet a rest to the people of God.

10 For he that is entred into his rest, hath ceassed also from his owne workes, as God dyd from his.

11 Let vs studie therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same ensample of disobedience.
