Hebrews 4

Revised Geneva Translation

4 Therefore, let us fear, lest at any time any of you should seem to have come short of the promise of entering into His rest.

² For the Gospel was preached to us as well as them. But the word that they heard did not profit them, because it was not mixed with faith in those who heard it.

³ For we who have believed have entered into rest, as He said, “As I have sworn in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter into My rest,’” However, the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

⁴ For He spoke in a certain place of the seventh day in this way, “And God rested the seventh day from all His works.”

⁵ And in this place again, “If they shall enter into My rest.”

⁶ Therefore, seeing it remains that some must enter into it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter therein for unbelief’s sake,

⁷ again (after so long a time) He appointed through David a certain day - “Today” - by saying, “This day, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”

⁸ For if Joshua had given them rest, then would He not later have spoken of another day?

⁹ There remains, therefore, a rest to the people of God.

¹⁰ For the one who has entered into His rest has also ceased from his own works (as God did from His).

¹¹ Therefore, let us study to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.

¹² For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, passing through even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and able to discern the thoughts and the intentions of the heart.

¹³ Nor is there any creature unseen by Him. But all things are naked and laid bare before the eyes of Him to Whom we must give account.

¹⁴ Seeing, then, that we have a great High Priest Who has entered into Heaven (Jesus, the Son of God), let us hold firmly to our confession.

¹⁵ For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all things tempted in the same way, yet without sin.

¹⁶ Therefore, let us go boldly to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
