**1 **Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left *us* of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. **2 **For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard *it*.

**3 **For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

**4 **For he spake in a certain place of the seventh *day* on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. **5 **And in this *place* again, If they shall enter into my rest. **6 **Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

**7 **Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

**8 **For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. **9 **There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. **10 **For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God *did* from his. **11 **Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

**12 **For the word of God *is* quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and 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: but all things *are* naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

**14 **Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast *our* profession. **15 **For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as *we are, yet* without sin. **16 **Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
