[Hebrews 4]

 ^4:1 Therefore, since a promise was left of entering into his rest, let us fear, lest any out of you^*should seem to have come short of it. ^4:2 For^* indeed we have had the gospel proclaimed to us, just-as they also had; but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it had not been mixed together by the faith in those who heard it. ^4:3 For^* we who have believed do enter into that rest; just-as he has said, ‘As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest,’ although the works were done from the conception of the world. {Ps. 95:7:11, Num. 14:22} ^4:4 For^* he has also said somewhere about the seventh day thus, ‘And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;’{Gen. 2:2} ^4:5 and in this place again, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’ {Ps. 95:11} ^4:6 Therefore since it is left that some should enter into it and those to whom the gospel was proclaimed beforehand did not enter into it because of disobedience, ^4:7 he again determined a certain day saying in David, Today, so-much time after, (just-as it has been said), ‘Today if you^* will hear his voice, do not harden your^* hearts.’ {Ps. 95:7, 8} ^4:8 For^* if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward about another day. ^4:9 Consequently, a Sabbath-rest is left for the people of God. ^4:10 For^* he who entered into his rest has himself, also rested from his works, as God did from his. ^4:11 Therefore let us be diligent to enter into that rest, that^* no one fall into the same example of disobedience.

^4:12 For^* the word of God is living and effective and sharper above any two edged sword and penetrates even to the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow and is a judge of the deliberations and intents of the heart. ^4:13 And there is no created thing unapparent before him; but all things are naked and vulnerable before the eyes of him with whom we will give our account.

 ^4:14 Having then a great high priest, Jesus the Son of God, who has gone through the heavens, let us hold-fast our confession. ^4:15 For^* we have a high priest who is able to sympathize with our weaknesses; but one who has been tempted in all things according to our similarity, yet without sin. ^4:16 Therefore let us come with boldness to the throne of grace, that^* we may receive mercy and may find grace ^*for well timed help.
