| 1 | 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. |
| 2 | For to us was the gospel preached, as well as to them: but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. |
| 3 | For we who 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. |
| 4 | For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God rested the seventh day from all his works. |
| 5 | And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. |
| 6 | Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter into it, and they to whom it was first preached entered not because of unbelief: |
| 7 | (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. |
| 8 | For if Jesus had given them rest, then he would not afterward have spoken of another day. |
| 9 | There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. |
| 10 | For he that hath entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.) |
| 11 | Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. |
| 12 | For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged 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. |
| 13 | Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of him with whom we have to do. |
| 14 | Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, that hath passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. |
| 15 | For we have not a high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but who was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. |
| 16 | Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. |
