* Therefore , since a promise remains of entering His rest , let us fear so that none of you should show evidence of falling short . * For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them ; but the word which they heard did not profit them , not being mixed with faith in those who heard it . * For we who believe do enter into rest , as He has said : So I swore in My wrath , They shall not enter into My rest , although the works were finished from the foundation of the world . * For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way : And God rested on the seventh day from all His works ; * and again in this place : They shall not enter My rest . * Since therefore it remains for some to enter into it , and those to whom the gospel was first preached did not enter in because of disobedience , * again He designates a certain day , saying in David , Today , after such a long time , 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 afterward have spoken of another day . * There remains therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God . * For he who has entered into His rest has himself also rested from his works as God did from His . * Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest , that no one fall according to 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 intents of the heart . * And there is no creature that is not revealed in His presence , but all things are naked and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we must give answer . * 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 weaknesses , but was in all points tempted as we are , yet without sin . * Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace , that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need .
