1 Let us therefore
fear, lest a promise being left us of entring into his rest, any of us should
altogether come short of it.
2 For unto us hath the gospel been preached
as well as unto them; but the word heard did not profit them, not
being mixt with faith in those that heard it. note
3 For we note that have believed,
do enter into the rest; as he said, I have sworn in my wrath, They
shall not enter into my rest, though the works were finished from the
foundation of the world.
4 For note he saith thus in a certain place, of the
seventh day note, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works:
And in this note again, They shall not enter into my rest.
5
6 Seeing then it
remaineth that some enter into it, and they to whom the gospel was
preached before,
7 entered not in because of unbelief, He again, after
so long a time, note fixeth a certain day, saying by David, To-day; as it
was said before, To day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not
your hearts.
8 For if Joshua had given them the rest, note he would
not have afterward spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth
therefore note a rest for the people of God.
10 For he that hath entered
into his rest, hath himself also ceased from his works, as
God did from his. note
11 Let us labour, therefore, to enter into that rest,
lest any one should fall, note after the same example of unbelief.
12 For
-- --
the word of God note is living and powerful, and sharper than any
two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder both of the
soul and spirit, both of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is
not manifest in his sight; note but all things are naked and opened to the eyes
of him with whom we have to do.
14 Having therefore a great high priest, note that is passed thro' the heavens,
Jesus the son of God,
15 let us hold fast our profession, For we have not
an high-priest who cannot sympathize with our infirmities, but who was
in all points tempted like as we are: yet without sin. note
16 Let us therefore
come boldly note to the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find
grace to help in time of need.
