Hebrews 4 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

The Believer's Rest

Heb 4:1

Heb 4:1Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it.

Heb 4:2

Heb 4:2For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word [fn]they heard did not profit them, because [fn]it was not united by faith in those who heard.

Heb 4:3

Heb 4:3For we who have believed enter that rest, just 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.

Heb 4:4

Heb 4:4For He has said somewhere concerning the seventh day: “AND GOD RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORKS”;

Heb 4:5

Heb 4:5and again in this passage, “THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.”

Heb 4:6

Heb 4:6Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience,

Heb 4:7

Heb 4:7He again fixes a certain day, “Today,” saying [fn]through David after so long a time just as has been said before,
“TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,
DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS.”

Heb 4:8

Heb 4:8For if [fn]Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that.

Heb 4:9

Heb 4:9So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

Heb 4:10

Heb 4:10For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His.

Heb 4:11

Heb 4:11Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience.

Heb 4:12

Heb 4:12For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Heb 4:13

Heb 4:13And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

Heb 4:14

Heb 4:14Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

Heb 4:15

Heb 4:15For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.

Heb 4:16

Heb 4:16Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
