Hebrews 4 Wherefore, let us be afraid, lest a promise of entrance into the rest, being left, any of you should seem to fall short of it.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Wherefore, let us be afraid, lest a promise of entrance into the rest, being left, any of you should seem to fall short of it. ² For glad tidings have been proclaimed to us, as well as to them: but the word which they heard did not profit them; not being mixed with faith in them who heard it. ³ For we, who have believed, do enter into the rest, as he said, "So, I swore, in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest"; namely, from the works that were finished at the formation of the world. ⁴ For he has spoken somewhere concerning the seventh day, thus: "And God rested on the seventh day, from all his works." ⁵ And in this, again, "They shall not enter into my rest." ⁶ Since, then, it remains for some to enter into it, and that they who first received the good tidings, did not enter in on account of unbelief: ⁷ again, he limits a certain day, saying, by David, "Today," after so long a time; as it is said, "Today, if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts." ⁸ For, if Joshua has caused them to rest, he would not, after that, have spoken of another day. ⁹ There remains, therefore, a divine rest for the people of God. ¹⁰ For he who has entered into his rest, has himself, also, rested from his own works, like as God, also, rested from his. ¹¹ Wherefore let us carefully strive to enter into THIS REST, lest any one should fall after the same example of unbelief. ¹² For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged 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 purposes of the heart. ¹³ And there is no creature concealed from his sight, for all things are naked and open to the eyes of him, to whom we must give an account. ¹⁴ Now, having a great High Priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. ¹⁵ For we have not a High Priest who can not sympathize with our weaknesses; but one who was tried in all points, according to the likeness of his nature to our ours, without sin. ¹⁶ Let us, therefore, approach, with boldness, to the throne of favor, that we may receive mercy, and obtain favor for the purpose of seasonable help.
