Hebrews

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 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. 3 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. 4 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. 5 And in this place again, If they shall en­ter into my rest. 6 See­ing there­fore it re­maineth that some must en­ter there­in, and they to whom it was first preached en­tered not in 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 would he not af­ter­ward have spo­ken of an­oth­er day. 9 There re­maineth there­fore a rest to the peo­ple of God. 10 For he that is en­tered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11 Let us labour there­fore to en­ter into that rest, lest any man fall af­ter the same ex­am­ple of un­be­lief. 12 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. 13 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. 14 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. 15 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. 16 Let us there­fore come bold­ly unto the throne of grace, that we may ob­tain mer­cy, and find grace to help in time of need.
