ASV_Strong : Hebrews 4
1. Let us[G5399] fear[G5399] therefore[G3767], lest[G3379] haply[G1860], a promise being left[G2641] of entering[G1525] into[G1519] his[G846] rest[G2663], any[G5100] one of[G1537] you[G5216] should seem[G1380] to have come short of it[G5302].
2. For[G1063] indeed[G2532] we have had[G2070] good tidings preached[G2097] unto us[G2509], even as also they[G2548]: but[G235] the word[G3056] of hearing[G189] did[G5623] not[G3756] profit[G5623] them[G1565], because it was not[G3361] united[G4786] by faith[G4102] with them that heard[G191].
3. For[G1063] we[G1525] who have believed[G4100] do enter[G1525] into[G1519] that rest[G2663]; even as[G2531] he hath said[G2046], As[G5613] I sware[G3660] in[G1722] my[G3450] wrath[G3709], [G1487] They shall not enter[G1525] into[G1519] my[G3450] rest[G2663]: although[G2543] the works[G2041] were finished[G1096] from[G575] the foundation[G2602] of the world[G2889].
4. For[G1063] he hath said[G2046] somewhere[G4225] of[G4012] the seventh[G1442] day on this wise[G3779], And[G2532] God[G2316] rested[G2664] on[G1722] the[G2250] seventh[G1442] day[G2250] from[G575] all[G3956] his[G846] works[G2041];
5. and[G2532] in[G1722] this[G5129] place again[G3825], [G1487] They shall not enter[G1525] into[G1519] my[G3450] rest[G2663].
6. Seeing[G1893] therefore[G3767] it remaineth[G620] that some[G5100] should enter[G1525] thereinto[G846], [G1519] and[G2532] they to whom the good tidings were[G2097] before[G4386] preached[G2097] failed[G3756] to enter[G1525] in[G1525] because of[G1223] disobedience[G543],
7. he again[G3825] defineth[G3724] a certain[G5100] day[G2250], To-day[G4594], saying[G3004] in[G1722] David[G1138] so long[G5118] a time[G5550] afterward[G3326] (even as[G2531] hath been said[G2046] before[G4594]), To-day if[G1437] ye shall hear[G191] his[G846] voice[G5456], Harden[G4645] not[G3361] your[G5216] hearts[G2588].
8. For[G1063] if[G1487] Joshua[G2424] had given[G2664] them[G846] rest[G2664], [G302] he[G2980] would not[G3756] have spoken[G2980, Deuteronomy23] afterward[G3326] of[G4012] another[G243] day[G2250].
9. There remaineth[G620] therefore[G686] a sabbath rest[G4520] for the people[G2992] of God[G2316].
10. For[G1063] he[G846] that is entered[G1525] into[G1519] his[G846] rest[G2663] hath himself[G846] also[G2532] rested[G2664] from[G575] his works[G2041], as[G5618] God[G2316] did from[G575] his[G846].
11. Let us therefore[G3767] give diligence[G4704] to enter[G1525] into[G1519] that[G1565] rest[G2443], that[G3361] no man[G5100] fall[G4098] after[G1722] the same[G846] example[G5262] of disobedience[G543].
12. For[G1063] the word[G3056] of God[G2316] is living[G2198], and[G2532] active[G1756], and[G2532] sharper[G5114] than[G5228] any[G3956] two-edged[G1366] sword[G3162], and piercing[G1338] even[G2532] to[G891] the dividing[G3311] of[G5037] soul[G5590] and[G2532] spirit[G4151], of both[G5037] joints[G719] and[G5037] marrow[G3452], and[G2532] quick to discern[G2924] the thoughts[G1761] and[G2532] intents[G1771] of the heart[G2588].
13. And there[G2076] is no[G3756] creature[G2937] that is not manifest[G852] in[G1799] his[G846] sight[G1799]: but[G1161] all things[G3956] are naked[G1131] and[G2532] laid open[G5136] before the eyes[G3788] of him[G846] with[G4314] whom[G3739] we have[G2254] to do[G3056].
14. Having[G2192] then[G3767] a great[G3173] high priest[G749], who hath passed through[G1330] the heavens[G3772], Jesus[G2424] the Son[G5207] of God[G2316], let us hold fast[G2902] our confession[G3671].
15. For[G1063] we have[G2192] not[G3756] a high priest[G749] that[G1410] cannot[G3361] be touched with the feeling[G4834] of our[G2257] infirmities[G769]; but[G1161] one that hath been[G3985] in[G2596] all points[G3956] tempted[G3985, 3987] like[G2596] as[G3665] we are[G5565], yet without sin[G266].
16. Let us[G4334] therefore[G3767] draw[G4334] near[G3326] with boldness[G3954] unto the throne[G2362] of grace[G5485], that[G2443] we may receive[G2983] mercy[G1656], and[G2532] may find[G2147] grace[G5485] to help[G996] us in time of[G1519] need[G2121].
