- Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it.
- 2
- For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened.
- 3
- For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest,’” although his works were finished from the foundation of the world.
- 4
- For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.”
- 5
- And again in this passage he said, “They shall not enter my rest.”
- 6
- Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience,
- 7
- again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
- 8
- For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on.
- 9
- So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God,
- 10
- for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.
- 11

- 13
- And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
- 14
- Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
- 15
- For we do not have 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.
- 16
- Let 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.
