Hebrews:4:1-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Let us be afraid therefore ,
lest ,
a promise being left behind to enter into his rest ,
any of you should seem to have come short .
*
For we also are having good-news preached ,
just as also those men ,
but the word of hearing did not benefit those men ,
not having been mixed together with faith in those who heard .
*
For those who believe enter into that rest ,
just as he said ,
So I swore in my wrath ,
They will not enter into my rest ,
although the works occurred from the foundation of the world .
*
For he spoke somewhere about the seventh this way ,
And God rested during the seventh day from all his works ,
*
and in this again ,
They will not enter into my rest .
*
Since therefore it remains for some to enter into it ,
and those who formerly had good-news did not enter because of disobedience ,
*
again he appoints a certain day ,
Today ,
saying in David after so long a time (
as it is said ),
Today if ye will hear his voice ,
do not harden your hearts .
*
For if Joshua had given them rest ,
he would not have spoken about another day after these things .
*
There remains therefore a Sabbath for the people of God .
*
For a man who has entered into his rest ,
he has also rested from his works ,
as God did from his own .
*
Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest ,
so that not any man may fall by the same example of disobedience .
*
For the word of God is living ,
and potent ,
and sharper ,
above every two-edged sword ,
and piercing as far as the division both of soul and spirit ,
of both joints and marrow ,
and discernible of the thoughts and intentions of the hear
