# Hebrews 4 
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it.
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. For 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.
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. For 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.
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.”
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. And again in this passage he said, “They shall not enter my rest.” 
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience,
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. again 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.” 
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on.
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God,
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his. 
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. For 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.
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
13. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account. 
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
14. Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
15. For 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.
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
16. Let 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.
