1 Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be deemed to have fallen short of it. | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT¹ | TT² |
2 For we also received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, since they did not share the faith of those who comprehended it. | C | TOSK |
3 Now we who have believed enter that rest. As for the others, it is just as God has said: “So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’” And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world. | C | TOSK |
4 For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this manner: “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works.” | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | TT⁴ | TT⁵ | TT⁶ |
5 And again, as He says in the passage above: “They shall never enter My rest.” | C | TOSK |
6 Since, then, it remains for some to enter His rest, and since those who formerly heard the good news did not enter because of their disobedience, | C | TOSK |
7 God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.” | C | TOSK | TT |
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT¹ |
9 There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God. | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | TT⁴ | TT⁵ | LT |
10 For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His. | C | TOSK |
11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience. | C | TOSK | LT |
12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart. | C | TOSK |
13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. | C | TOSK |
14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess. | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ |
15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin. | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ |
16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT¹ | TT² |
