* Therefore , let us fear , lest while a promise of entering into his rest remains , any of you should seem to fall short of it . * For the gospel was preached to us , as well as to them : but the word preached did not benefit them , because it was not combined with faith in those who heard it . * For we who have believed enter into that rest , as he said , As I have sworn in my wrath , they shall never enter my rest : although his works were finished from the foundation of the world . * For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day in this manner , And God rested on the seventh day from all his works . * And again in this passage , They shall never enter my rest . * Therefore , since it remains that some must enter in , and those to whom it was first preached did not enter in because of unbelief : * He again fixes a certain day , calling it Today , saying through David after so long a time , as was said before , Today if you hear his voice , do not harden your hearts . * For if Joshua had given them rest , then he would not afterward have spoken of another day . * Therefore , there remains a sabbath rest for the people of God . * For he who has entered his rest , has also has ceased from his own works , as God did from his . * Therefore , let us labour to enter that rest , lest any man fall by following their example of disobedience . * For the word of God is alive , and active , and sharper than any two-edged sword , piercing even to the division of soul and spirit , and of the joints and marrow , and discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart . * Nor is there any creature concealed from his sight : but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account . * Seeing then that we have a great high priest , who has passed through the heavens , Jesus the Son of God , let us hold fast our confession . * For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our infirmities ; but one who in every respect was tempted as we are , yet without sin . * Therefore , let us boldly approach the throne of grace , that we may obtain mercy , and find grace to help in time of need .
