Hebrews 4:3-16

3For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, “1As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter My rest,” although His works were finished 2from the foundation of the world. 4For He has said 3somewhere concerning the seventh day: “4And God 5rested on the seventh day from all His works”; 5and again in this passage, “6They shall not enter My rest.” 6Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of 7disobedience, 7He again fixes a certain day, “Today,” saying 8through David after so long a time just 9as has been said before, “10Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts.” 8For 11if 12Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that. 9So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. 10For the one who has entered His rest has himself also 13rested from his works, as 14God did from His. 11Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same 15example of 16disobedience. 12For 17the word of God is 18living and 19active and sharper than any two-edged 20sword, and piercing as far as the division of 21soul and 22spirit, of both joints and marrow, and 23able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13And 24there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are 25open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

14Therefore, since we have a great 26high priest who has 27passed through the heavens, Jesus 28the Son of God, let us hold fast our 29confession. 15For we do not have 30a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been 31tempted in all things as we are, yet 32without sin. 16Therefore let us 33draw near with 34confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
