1Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it.1Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be deemed to have fallen short of it.
2For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened.2For we also received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, since they did not share the faith of those who comprehended it.
3For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest,’” although his works were finished from the foundation of the world.3Now we who have believed enter that rest. As for the others, it is just as God has said: “So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’ ” And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world.
4For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.”4For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this manner: “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works.”
5And again in this passage he said, “They shall not enter my rest.”5And again, as He says in the passage above: “They shall never enter My rest.”
6Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience,6Since, then, it remains for some to enter His rest, and since those who formerly heard the good news did not enter because of their disobedience,
7again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”7God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”
8For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on.8For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
9So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God,9There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
10for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.10For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His.
11Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.11Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.
12For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.12For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
13And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.13Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
14Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.14Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess.
15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.
16Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.16Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
