NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Hebrews 4

The Believer's Rest

1

Thereforeg3767, let us fearg5399 ifg3379, while a promiseg1860 remainsg2641 of enteringg1525 His restg2663, anyg5100 oneg5100 of you may seemg1380 to have  acomeg5302 shortg5302 of it.

2

For indeedg2532 we have had goodg2097 newsg2097 preachedg2097 to us, justg2509 as they alsog2548; but  athe wordg3056  1they heardg189 did not profitg5623 them, because  2it was not unitedg4786 by faithg4102 in thoseg3588 whog5101 heardg191.

3

For we whog5101 have believedg4100 enterg1525 that restg2663, justg2531a as He has saidg3004, " aAS I SWOREg3660 IN MY WRATHg3709, THEY SHALL NOT ENTERg1525 MY RESTg2663," althoughg2543 His worksg2041 were finishedg1096  bfrom the foundationg2602 of the worldg2889.

4

For He has saidg3004  asomewhereg4225 concerningg4012 the seventhg1442 day:bAND GODg2316  cRESTEDg2664 ON THE SEVENTHg1442 DAYg2250 FROM ALLg3956 HIS WORKSg2041";

5

and againg3825 in thisg3778 passage,aTHEY SHALL NOT ENTERg1525 MY RESTg2663."

6

Thereforeg3767, sinceg1893 it remainsg620 for someg5100 to enterg1525 it, and thoseg3588 whog5101 formerlyg4387 had goodg2097 newsg2097 preachedg2097 to them failedg3756 to enterg1525 becauseg1223 of  adisobedienceg543,

7

He againg3825 fixesg3724 a certaing5100 dayg2250, "Todayg4594," sayingg3004  1throughg1722 Davidg1160b afterg3326 sog5118 longg5118 a timeg5550 justg2531a  aas has been saidg4275b beforeg4275b, " bTODAYg4594 IFg1437 YOU HEARg191 HIS VOICEg5456, DO NOT HARDENg4645 YOUR HEARTSg2588."

8

For  aifg1437  1Joshuag2424 had giveng2664 them restg2664, He would not have spokeng2980 of anotherg243 dayg2250 afterg3326 that.

9

Sog686 there remainsg620 a Sabbathg4520 restg4520 for the peopleg2992 of Godg2316.

10

For the one whog5101 has enteredg1525 His restg2663 has himselfg846 alsog2532  arestedg2664 from his worksg2041, as  bGodg2316 did from His.

11

Thereforeg3767 let us be diligentg4704 to enterg1525 that restg2663, sog2443g3361 that nog3361 oneg5100 will fallg4098, throughg1722 following the sameg846  aexampleg5262 of  bdisobedienceg543.

12

For  athe wordg3056 of Godg2316 is  blivingg2198 and  cactiveg1756 and sharperg5114 thang5228 anyg3956 two-edgedg1366  dswordg3162, and piercingg1338 as farg891 as the divisiong3311 of  esoulg5590 and  espiritg4151, of bothg5037 jointsg719 and marrowg3452, and  fableg2924 to judgeg2924 the thoughtsg1761 and intentionsg1771 of the heartg2588.

13

And  athere is nog3756 creatureg2937 hiddeng852 from His sightg1799, but allg3956 thingsg3956 are  bopeng1131 and laidg5136 bareg5136 to the eyesg3788 of Him with whomg3739 we haveg3056 to dog3056.

14

Thereforeg3767, since we haveg2192 a greatg3173  ahighg749 priestg749 whog5101 has  bpassedg1330 throughg1330 the heavensg3772, Jesusg2424  cthe Song5207 of Godg2316, let us holdg2902 fastg2902 our  dconfessiong3671.

15

For we do not haveg2192  aa highg749 priestg749 whog5101 cannotg1410g3361 sympathizeg4834 with our weaknessesg769, but One whog5101 has been  btemptedg3985 in allg3956 thingsg3956 as we are, yet  cwithoutg5565 sing266.

16

Thereforeg3767 let us  adrawg4334 nearg4334 with  bconfidenceg3954 to the throneg2362 of graceg5485, sog2443 that we may receiveg2983 mercyg1656 and findg2147 graceg5485 to helpg996 in timeg2121 of needg2121.
