Hebrews 4:11-16

11Therefore let’s make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same 1example of 2disobedience. 12For 3the word of God is 4living and 5active, and sharper than any two-edged 6sword, even penetrating as far as the division of 7soul and 8spirit, of both joints and marrow, and 9able to 10judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13And 11there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are 12open and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom 13we must answer.

14Therefore, since we have a great 14high priest who has 15passed through the heavens, Jesus 16the Son of God, let’s hold firmly to our 17confession. 15For we do not have 18a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been 19tempted in all things just as we are, yet 20without sin. 16Therefore let’s 21approach the throne of grace with 22confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need.
