第四章

信的人可以進入安息
1 所以，那進入安息的應許，既然還給我們留着，我們就應該戰戰兢兢，恐怕我們中間有人像是被淘汰了。
2 因為有福音傳給我們，像傳給他們一樣，只是他們所聽見的道，對他們沒有益處，因為他們沒有用信心與所聽見的打成一片（“沒有用信心與所聽見的打成一片”，有古卷作“沒有用信心與聽從這道的人打成一片”）。
3 然而我們信了的人，就可以進入那安息。正如　神所說：“我在烈怒中起誓說，他們絕不可進入我的安息！”其實　神的工作，從創立世界以來已經完成了。
4 因為論到第七日，他在聖經某一處說：“在第七日　神歇了他的一切工作。”
5 但在這裡又說：“他們絕不可進入我的安息。”
6 既然這安息還留着要讓一些人進去，但那些以前聽過福音的人，因為不順從不得進去；
7 所以　神就再定一個日子，就是過了很久以後，借着大衛所說的“今天”，就像前面引用過的：“如果你們今天聽從他的聲音，就不要硬着心。”
8 如果約書亞已經使他們享受了安息，　神後來就不會再提到別的日子了。
9 這樣看來，為了　神的子民，必定另外有一個“安息日”的安息保留下來。
10 因為那進入　神安息的人，就歇了自己的工作，好像　神歇了自己的工作一樣。
11 所以，我們要竭力進入那安息，免得有人隨着那不順從的樣子就跌倒了。

　神的道是活的、有效的
12 　神的道是活的，是有效的，比一切兩刃的劍更鋒利，甚至可以刺入剖開靈與魂，關節與骨髓，並且能夠辨明心中的思想和意念。
13 被造的在　神面前沒有一樣不是顯明的，萬有在他的眼前都是赤露敞開的；我們必須向他交帳。

我們的大祭司耶穌
14 我們既然有一位偉大的、經過了眾天的大祭司，就是　神的兒子耶穌，就應該堅持所宣認的信仰。
15 因為我們的大祭司並不是不能同情我們的軟弱，他像我們一樣，也曾在各方面受過試探，只是他沒有犯罪。
16 所以，我們只管坦然無懼地來到施恩的寶座前，為的是要領受憐憫，得到恩惠，作為及時的幫助。

Hebrews

1 Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it.
2 For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith.
3 Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, "So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They shall never enter my rest.'" And yet his work has been finished since the creation of the world.
4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: "And on the seventh day God rested from all his work."
5 And again in the passage above he says, "They shall never enter my rest."
6 It still remains that some will enter that rest, and those who formerly had the gospel preached to them did not go in, because of their disobedience.
7 Therefore God again set a certain day, calling it Today, when a long time later he spoke through David, as was said before: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts."
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God;
10 for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his.
11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience.
12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.
15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin.
16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
