Hebrews 4:9-16 ▼

9 It is therefore the duty of the people of God to keep the Sabbath.

10 For he who has entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

11 Let us strive therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall like those who were disobedient.

12 For the word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the point of division between soul and spirit, and between the joints and marrow and bones, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

13 And there is no creature which is hidden from his sight: but all things are naked and open before the eyes of him to whom we are to answer.

14 We have, therefore, a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus Christ, the Son of God; let us remain firm in his faith.

15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot share our infirmities, but we have one who was tempted with everything as we are, and yet without sin.

16 Let us, therefore, come openly to the throne of his grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
