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.
02 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.
03 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.
04 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.
05 And in this place again, If they shall enter
into my rest.
06 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must
enter therein, and they to whom it was first
preached entered not in because of unbelief:
07 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.
08 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would
he not afterward have spoken of another day.
09 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.
