Hebrews 4 (WEBP)

[1] Let’s fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.
[2] For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard didn’t profit them, because it wasn’t mixed with faith by those who heard.
[3] For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
[4] For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, “God rested on the seventh day from all his works;”
[5] and in this place again, “They will not enter into my rest.”
[6] Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter into it, and they to whom the good news was preached before failed to enter in because of disobedience,
[7] he again defines a certain day, “today”, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts.”
[8] For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
[9] There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
[10] For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.
[11] Let’s therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.
[12] For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
[13] There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.
[14] Having then a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession.
[15] For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
[16] Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.

Hebrews 4 (KJVS)

[1] 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 ().
[2] 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].
[3] 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 .
[4] 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 .
[5] And in this [place] again , If they shall enter () into my rest .
[6] Seeing therefore it remaineth () that some must enter () therein , and they to whom it was first preached () entered not in () because of unbelief :
[7] 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 .
[8] For if Jesus had given them rest (), then would he not afterward have spoken () of another day .
[9] There remaineth () therefore a rest to the people of God .
[10] For he that is entered () into his rest , he also hath ceased () from his own works , as God [did] from his .
[11] Let us labour () therefore to enter () into that rest , lest any man fall () after the same example of unbelief .
[12] 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 .
[13] Neither is there () any creature that is not manifest in his sight : but all things [are] naked and opened () unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do .
[14] Seeing then that we have () a great high priest , that is passed into () the heavens , Jesus the Son of God , let us hold fast () [our] profession .
[15] For we have () not an high priest which cannot () be touched with the feeling () of our infirmities ; but was in all points tempted () () like as [we are, yet] without sin .
[16] Let us therefore come () boldly unto the throne of grace , that we may obtain () mercy , and find () grace to help in time of need .

Young’s Literal Translation

Hebrews 4 (YLT)

[1] We may fear, then, lest a promise being left of entering into His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short,
[2] for we also are having good news proclaimed, even as they, but the word heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard,
[3] for we do enter into the rest-we who did believe, as He said, ‘So I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest-;’ and yet the works were done from the foundation of the world,
[4] for He spake in a certain place concerning the seventh day thus: ‘And God did rest in the seventh day from all His works;’
[5] and in this place again, ‘If they shall enter into My rest-;’
[6] since then, it remaineth for certain to enter into it, and those who did first hear good news entered not in because of unbelief-
[7] again He doth limit a certain day, ‘To-day,’ (in David saying, after so long a time,) as it hath been said, ‘To-day, if His voice ye may hear, ye may not harden your hearts,’
[8] for if Joshua had given them rest, He would not concerning another day have spoken after these things;
[9] there doth remain, then, a sabbatic rest to the people of God,
[10] for he who did enter into his rest, he also rested from his works, as God from His own.
[11] May we be diligent, then, to enter into that rest, that no one in the same example of the unbelief may fall,
[12] for the reckoning of God is living, and working, and sharp above every two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing asunder both of soul and spirit, of joints also and marrow, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart;
[13] and there is not a created thing not manifest before Him, but all things are naked and open to His eyes-with whom is our reckoning.
[14] Having, then, a great chief priest passed through the heavens-Jesus the Son of God-may we hold fast the profession,
[15] for we have not a chief priest unable to sympathise with our infirmities, but one tempted in all things in like manner-apart from sin;
[16] we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of the grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace-for seasonable help.
