* Therefore let us fear , lest while the promise remains to enter into His rest , any one of you seems to have fallen short . * For indeed we have had the gospel preached [to us ] just as those also ; but the word which they heard did not profit those , not having been mixed with faith in those having heard it . * For we who have believed enter that rest , as He has said : "So I swore in My wrath , they shall not enter My rest ,"although His works were finished from the foundation of the world . * For He has said somewhere concerning the seventh day thus , "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works ;" * and again in this place : "They shall not enter My rest ." * Therefore since it remains [for ] some to enter into it , and those formerly having the gospel preached [to them ] did not enter on account of disobedience , * again He appoints a certain day , saying in David , "Today ,"after such a time , just as it has been said : "Today , if you will hear His voice , do not harden your hearts ." * For if Joshua had given them rest , then He would not have spoken afterward of another day . * Then there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God . * For he who has entered into His rest also rested himself from his works , as God [did ] from His own . * Therefore let us be diligent to enter into that rest , lest anyone falls in the same example of disobedience . * For the word of God is living and active , and sharper than any two-edged sword , piercing even to the division of soul and spirit , and of joints and marrow , and is a discerner of the thoughts and intentions of the heart . * And there is no creature hidden before Him , but all things are naked and open to His eyes , to whom we must give an account . * Therefore having a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens , Jesus the Son of God , let us hold fast the confession . * For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses , but having been tempted in all [respects ] in quite the same way as [we are ], yet without sin . * Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace , so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need .
