Godbey - Hebrews - 4

4:1  Then let us fear, lest at some time, the promise to enter into his rest having been left, some of you may appear to have come short.

4:2  For we truly have had the gospel preached unto us, as they did also: but the word of hearing did not profit them, not being mixed with faith to those hearing.

4:3  For we who have believed, do enter into rest: as he has said, As I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: the works truly having been from the foundations of the world.

4:4  For he somewhere has spoken thus in reference to the seventh day, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.

4:5  And in this again he has said, They shall not enter into my rest.

4:6  Then since it remains that some do enter into it, and those formerly having had the gospel preached unto them did not enter in on account of unbelief,

4:7  again he appoints a certain day, saying in David, as has previously been said, This day, after so long a time; If you may hear his voice this day, harden not your hearts.

4:8  For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not speak concerning another day after these things.

4:9  Therefore there is a sabbatism left for the people of God.

4:10  For the one having entered into his rest has ceased from his works, as God did from his own.

4:11  Therefore let us hasten to enter into that rest, lest some one may fall by the same example of unbelief.

4:12  For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and a quick discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

4:13  And no creature is hidden in his presence: but all things are naked and have been laid open to the eyes of him to whom the word is unto us.

4:14  Therefore having a great high priest, having entered into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the testimony.

4:15  For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched with our infirmities; but one having been tempted as to all things like unto us, apart from sin.

4:16  Therefore let us draw nigh with confidence to a throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace in every opportune need.
