Hebrews 4 (ASV Interlinear Bible)

1Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it.

2For indeed we have had

Or, a gospel

good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because

it was not united by faith with them that heard.

⁎

Some ancient authorities read We therefore.

For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said,

Ps. 95:11.

Or, So

As I sware in my wrath,

They shall not enter into my rest:

although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4For he hath said somewhere of the seventh day on this wise,

And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;

5and in this place again,

Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.

9There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God.

10For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.

11Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall

after the same example of disobedience.

12For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.

13And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

14Having then a great high priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

15For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

16Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help us in time of need.
