(KJV) Hebrews 41

<< Hebrews 3 Hebrews 5 >>

The Sabbath Rest[ Genesis 2:1–3 Exodus 16:22–30 ]

[1] Let us therefore2 fear, lest, a promise3 being left [us] of entering into his4 rest, any5 of you should seem to come short of it. [2] For unto us6 was the gospel preached7, as well as unto them: but the word preached did8 not profit them, not being9 mixed with faith in them that heard [it]. [3] For we10 which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I11 have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works12 were finished from13 the foundation of the world. [4] For he spake in14 a certain place of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God15 did rest the seventh day from all his works. [5] And in this [place] again, If they shall enter into my rest.16 [6] Seeing therefore it remaineth17 that some18 must enter therein, and they19 to whom it was20 first preached entered21 not in because of unbelief: [7] Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying22 in David, To day23, after24 so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. [8] For if Jesus25 had26 given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. [9] There remaineth27 therefore a rest28 to the people29 of God. [10] For he that30 is entered into his rest, he also hath31 ceas32ed from his own works, as God [did] from his. [11] Let33 us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest34 any man fall after the same example of unbelief35.

The Living Word[ 2 Timothy 3:10–17 ]

[12] For the word36 of God [is] quick37, and powerful, and sharper38 than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is39] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. [13] Neither is there40 any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things [are] naked41 and opened unto the eyes of him with42 whom we have to do. [14] Seeing then that we have a great43 high priest, that is44 passed into the heavens, Jesus45 the Son of God, let46 us hold fast [our] profession. [15] For we have47 not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted48 like as [we are], [yet49] without sin. [16] Let us therefore come50 boldly unto the throne51 of grace, that we may obtain52 mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
