Hebrews 4:9-16 ▼

9 there remains, then, a Sabbath rest to the people of God,

10 for he who entered into His rest, he also rested from his works, as God from His own.

11 May we be diligent, then, to enter into that rest, that no one may fall in the same example of the unbelief,

12 for the Word of God is living, and working, and sharper—beyond every two-edged sword—and piercing as far as [the] division of soul and spirit, of joints and also marrows, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart;

13 and there is not a created thing hidden before Him, but all things [are] naked and open to His eyes—with whom is our reckoning.

14 Having, then, a great Chief Priest having passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—may we hold fast the profession,

15 for we do not have a Chief Priest unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but [One] tempted in all things in like manner, [yet] without sin;

16 we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace—for seasonable help.
