NASB — Hebrews 4 — KJV

The Believer’s Rest

1 Therefore°, let us fear° if°, while a promise° remains° of entering° His rest°, any° one° of you may seem° to have acome° short° of it. 2 For indeed° we have had good° news° preached° to us, just° as they also°; but athe word° Ithey heard° did not profit° them, because IIit was not united° by faith° in those° who° heard°. 3 For we who° have believed° enter° that rest°, just° as He has said°,
  “aAS I SWORE° IN MY WRATH°,
  THEY SHALL NOT ENTER° MY REST°,”
although° His works° were finished° bfrom the foundation° of the world°. 4 For He has said° asomewhere° concerning° the seventh° [day]: “bAND GOD° cRESTED° ON THE SEVENTH° DAY° FROM ALL° HIS WORKS°”; 5 and again° in this° [passage], “aTHEY SHALL NOT ENTER° MY REST°.” 6 Therefore°, since° it remains° for some° to enter° it, and those° who° formerly° had good° news° preached° to them failed° to enter° because° of adisobedience°, 7 He again° fixes° a certain° day°, “Today°,” saying° Ithrough° David° after° so° long° a time° just° aas has been said° before°,
  “bTODAY° IF° YOU HEAR° HIS VOICE°,
  DO NOT HARDEN° YOUR HEARTS°.”
8 For aif° IJoshua° had given° them rest°, He would not have spoken° of another° day° after° that. 9 So° there remains° a Sabbath° rest° for the people° of God°. 10 For the one who° has entered° His rest° has himself° also° arested° from his works°, as bGod° did from His. 11 Therefore° let us be diligent° to enter° that rest°, so°° that no° one° will fall°, through° [following] the same° aexample° of bdisobedience°. 12 For athe word° of God° is bliving° and cactive° and sharper° than° any° two-edged° dsword°, and piercing° as far° as the division° of esoul° and espirit°, of both° joints° and marrow°, and fable° to judge° the thoughts° and intentions° of the heart°. 13 And athere is no° creature° hidden° from His sight°, but all° things° are bopen° and laid° bare° to the eyes° of Him with whom° we have° to do°.

The rest of Christians is attained by faith.

1 ¶ Let us¹ª thereforeº fear,ºª lest,º a promiseº being leftºª [us] of enteringºª intoº hisº rest,º anyº ofº youº should seemºª to come short² of it.¹ª 2 Forº¹ unto us² was¹ª the gospel preached,ºª² as well asº unto them:º butº the² wordº preachedº did¹ª notº profitºª them,º notº being mixed¹ª with² faithº in them that heardºª [it]. 3 Forº we which¹ have believedºª do enterºª intoº rest,º asº he said,ºª Asº I have swornºª inº myº wrath,º ifº they shall enterºª intoº myº rest:º althoughº the² worksº were finishedºª fromº the foundationº of the world.º 4 Forº he spakeºª in a certain placeº ofº the² seventhº [day] on this wise,º Andº Godº did restºª the² seventhº¹ dayº fromº allº his¹² works.º 5 Andº inº thisº [place] again,º Ifº they shall enterºª intoº myº rest.º 6 Seeingº thereforeº it remainethºª that someº must enterºª therein,ºº andº they to whom it was first¹ preachedºª² entered¹ª not¹ inºª² becauseº of unbelief:º 7 Again,º he limitethºª a certainº day,º sayingºª inº David,º To day,º afterº so longº a time;º asº it is said,ºª To dayº ifº ye will hearºª hisº voice,º hardenºª notº yourº hearts.º 8 Forº ifº Jesusº had given¹ª them¹ rest,ºª² then would he¹ notº² afterwardºº have spokenºª ofº anotherº day.º 9 There remainethºª thereforeº a restº to the² peopleº of God.º 10 Forº he that is enteredºª intoº hisº rest,º heº alsoº hath ceasedºª fromº his own¹² works,º asº Godº [did] fromº his.º 11 Let us labourºª thereforeº to enterºª intoº thatº rest,º lestº any manº fallºª afterº the² sameº exampleº of unbelief.º
