A
Sabbath-Rest for the People of God
4:1 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.
4:2 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.
4:3 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.
4:4 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.
4:5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my
rest.
4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter
therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not
in because of unbelief:
4:7 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.
4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not
afterward have spoken of another day.
4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath
ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest
any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
4:12 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.
4:13 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.
Jesus the Great High
Priest
4:14 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.
4:15 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.
4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace,
that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of
need. |
