Let us therefore
fear
, lest
, a promise
being left
us of entering
into
his
rest
, any
of
you
should seem
to come short of it
.
For unto us was
the gospel preached
, as well as
unto them
: but
the word
preached
did
not
profit
them
, not
being mixed
with faith
in them that heard
it .
For we which
have believed
do enter
into
rest
, as
he said
, As
I have sworn
in
my
wrath
, if
they shall enter
into
my
rest
: although
the works
were finished
from
the foundation
of the world
.
For he spake
in a certain place
of
the seventh
day on this wise
, And
God
did rest
the seventh
day
from
all
his
works
.
And in
this
place again
, If
they shall enter
into
my
rest
.
Seeing therefore
it remaineth
that some
must enter
therein
, and
they to whom it was first
preached
entered
not
in
because
of unbelief
:
Again, he limiteth
a certain
day
, saying
in
David
, To day
, after
so long
a time
; as
it is said
, To day
if
ye will hear
his
voice
, harden
not
your
hearts
.
For if
Jesus
had given
them
rest
, then would he
not
afterward
have spoken
of
another
day
.
There remaineth therefore
a rest
to the people
of God
.
For he that is entered
into
his
rest
, he
also
hath ceased
from
his own
works
, as
God
did from
his
.
Let us labour therefore
to enter
into
that
rest
, lest
any man
fall
after
the same
example
of unbelief
.
For the word
of God
is quick
, and
powerful
, and
sharper
than
any
twoedged
sword
, piercing
even to
the dividing asunder
of soul
and
spirit
, and
of the joints
and
marrow
, and
is a discerner
of the thoughts
and
intents
of the heart
.
Neither is there
any creature
that is not manifest
in his
sight
: but
all things
are naked
and
opened
unto the eyes
of him
with
whom
we have
to do
.
Seeing then
that we have
a great
high priest
, that is passed into
the heavens
, Jesus
the Son
of God
, let us hold fast
our profession
.
For we have
not
an high priest
which cannot
be touched with the feeling
of our
infirmities
; but
was
in
all points
tempted
like
as
we are, yet without
sin
.
Let us therefore
come
boldly
unto the throne
of grace
, that
we may obtain
mercy
, and
find
grace
to help
in
time of need
.
