Hebrews 4 - Revised Standard Version(RSVCI)

1Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest remains, let us fear lest any of you be judged to have failed to reach it.

2For good news came to us just as to them; but the message which they heard did not benefit them, because it did not meet with faith in the hearers.

3 would not speak later of another day.

9So then, there remains a sabbath rest for the people of God;

10Gen 2.2. for whoever enters God's rest also ceases from his labors as God did from his.

11Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, that no one fall by the same sort of disobedience.

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

13And before him no creature is hidden, but all are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

14Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

15For we have not a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

16Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
