EMTV - Hebrews - 4

4:1  Therefore let us fear, lest while the promise remains to enter into His rest, any one of you seem to have fallen short.

4:2  For indeed we have had the gospel preached to us just as those also; but the word which they heard did not profit those, not having been mixed with faith in those who heard it.

4:3  For we who have believed enter that rest, as He has said: "SO I SWORE IN MY WRATH, THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST," although His works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4:4  For He has said somewhere concerning the seventh day thus, "AND GOD RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORKS;"

4:5  and again in this place: "THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST."

4:6  Therefore since it remains for some to enter into it, and those formerly having the gospel preached to them did not enter on account of disobedience,

4:7  again He appoints a certain day, saying in David, "Today," after such a time, just as it has been said: "TODAY, IF YOU WILL HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS."

4:8  For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not have spoken afterward of another day.

4:9  Therefore there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

4:10  For he who has entered into His rest also rested himself from his works, as God did from His own.

4:11  Therefore let us be diligent to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall in the same example of disobedience.

4:12  For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

4:13  And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to His eyes, to whom we must give account.

4:14  Therefore having a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

4:15  For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but having been tempted in all respects in quite the same way as we are, yet without sin.

4:16  Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
