4:1  Therefore, let us fear, lest, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have fallen short of it.
4:2  For indeed we have had good news proclaimed to us, just as they also; but the word that was heard did not profit those who were not united with faith among those who heard.
4:3  For we who have believed enter that rest, just 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.
4:4  For He has spoken somewhere in this way concerning the seventh day: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”;
4:5  and again in this passage, “They shall not enter My rest.”
4:6  Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news proclaimed to them failed to enter because of disobedience,
4:7  He again determines a certain day, “Today,” saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before, “Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts.”
4:8  For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that.
4:9  So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
4:10  For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His.
4:11  Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall into the same example of disobedience.
4:12  For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
4:13  And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are uncovered and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we have an account to give.
4:14  Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us take hold of our confession.
4:15  For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things like we are, yet without sin.
4:16  Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
