in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13
But exhort one another
daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14
For
we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
15
While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16
For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17
But with whom was he grieved forty years?
was it
not with them that had sinned, whose carcases
fell in the wilderness?
18
And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them
that believed not?
19
So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
CHAPTER 4
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.
