4:1  Therefore, let us fear that at any time while a promise to enter into His rest is left-remaining [open], any of you should seem to have come-short—
4:2  for indeed, we have had-good-news-announced, just as those also. But the word of hearing did not profit those ones, they not having been united in faith with the ones having heard.
4:3  For we, the ones having believed, enter into the rest, just as He has said: “As I swore in My wrath, they shall never enter into My rest” [Ps 95:11]. And-yet, His works have been done since the foundation of the world.
4:4  For He has spoken somewhere about the seventh day as follows: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works” [Gen 2:2],
4:5  and in this [Ps 95:11] again: “They shall never enter into My rest”.
4:6  Since then it remains that some may enter into it, and the ones formerly having had-good-news-announced to them did not enter because of disobedience,
4:7  He again designates a certain day— “Today”— saying by David after so much time just as it has been said-before: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts” [Ps 95:7-8].
4:8  For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not be speaking after these things about another day.
4:9  Therefore a Sabbath-rest remains for the people of God.
4:10  For the one having entered into His rest also himself rested from his works, just as God did from His own.
4:11  Therefore, let us be diligent to enter into that rest, in order that no one may fall in the same example of disobedience.
4:12  For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, and piercing as-far-as the division of soul and spirit, and joints and marrows, and able-to-judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
4:13  And there is no creation hidden in His sight, but all things are naked and having been laid-open to His eyes to Whom the account will be given by us.
4:14  Therefore, having a great High Priest having gone through the heavens— Jesus, the Son of God— let us be holding-on-to the confession.
4:15  For we do not have a high priest not being able to sympathize-with our weaknesses, but One having been tempted in all things in accordance with our likeness, without sin.
4:16  So let us be approaching the throne of grace with confidence, in order that we may receive mercy and find grace for well-timed help.
