Hebrews 4:1-13 - The Rest That Remains For The People Of God

¹ Let us therefore fear, lest a solemn promise being left to come into his rest, any of you should seem to have failed. ² For we also were announced of the good news, as well as they: but the word of the report profited them not, not being mixed with faith to them having heard. ³ For we having believed come into the rest, as he said, As I sware in my wrath, if they shall come into my rest: although the works having been from the foundation of the world. ⁴ For he said somewhere of the seventh thus, And God ceased in the seventh day from all his works.

⁵ And in this again, If they shall enter into my rest. ⁶ Since therefore it remains for some to come into it, and they before announced of the good news came not in through unbelief: ⁷ Again he limits a certain day, saying in David, To day, after such time; as it is said, To day if ye would hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

⁸ For if Jesus had caused them to rest, he would not have spoken of another day after these things. ⁹ Therefore a celebration of a sabbath remains to the people of God. ¹⁰ For he having come into his rest, he also has ceased from his works, as God from his own. ¹¹ Therefore we should be earnest to come into that rest, lest any should fall in the same pattern of unbelief.

¹² For the word of God living, and effective, and more piercing than any two-mouthed sword, and penetrating even to the division both of soul and spirit, both the joints and marrows, and a critic of the reflections and thoughts of the heart. ¹³ And there is no creation invisible before him: and all things naked and exposed, neck and face to view, to the eyes of him with whom to us is the word.
