Hebrews 4:1-13 ▼

1 Therefore we should fear, lest ever, the promise to enter into His rest left remaining, any of you? should seem to have fallen short.

2 For also we are those having had the gospel proclaimed, even as also those; but the word of their hearing did not profit those not having been united with the faith of those having heard.

3 For we enter into the rest—those having believed—just as He has said: “As I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter into My rest.’” And yet the works were done from the foundation of the world.

4 For He has spoken somewhere about the seventh day thus: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works.”

5 And again in this: “They shall not enter into My rest.”

6 Therefore, since it remains for some to enter into it, and those formerly having had the gospel proclaimed did not enter because of disobedience,

7 again He designates a certain day as “Today,” saying in David after so long a time, just as it has been said before, “Today, if you? should hear His voice, do not harden your? hearts.”

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken after this about another day.

9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

10 For the one having entered into His rest, he also rested from his works, just as God did from His own.

11 Therefore we should be diligent to enter into that rest, so that no one should fall in the same exhibit of disobedience.

12 For the word of God is living and effective, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing through and as far as the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrows, and able to judge the reflections and intentions of the heart.

13 And there is no created thing hidden before Him, but all things are bare and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom is our account.
