Hebrews 4:9-16 ▼

9 which shows that the people of God have a sabbath still to come.

10 then he that enters into divine rest, will indeed rest from his works, as God did from his.

11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any of us by imitating their incredulity, should fall short thereof like them.

12 for the word of God is active and efficacious, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even to the division of soul and spirit, to the smallest and most inward parts, distinguishing the thoughts, and intentions of the heart.

13 so that there is not a creature that is concealed from his view: but all is naked and open to the eyes of him of whom we speak. Having then so great a high priest,

14 who is passed into the heavens, Jesus the son of God, let us hold fast our profession, for we have

15 not an high priest who is incapable of compassionating our miseries; since he was exposed to the same trials as we are, sin only excepted, let

16 us therefore approach with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may obtain the seasonable assistance of divine mercy and favour.
