Hebrews

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.

Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
