4 Therefore, since the promise to enter his rest remains, let us bewareL that none of you be found to have fallen short.M 2 For we also have received the good news just as they did. But the message they heard did not benefit them, since they were not united with those who heard it in faith.N,aa 3 For we who have believed enter the rest, in keeping with whatO he has said,
“They will not enter my rest,”A,a
even though his works have been finished since the foundation of the world. 4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in this way: And on the seventh day God rested from all his works.B,b 5 Again, in that passage he says, They will never enter my rest.A 6 Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news did not enter because of disobedience,c 7 he again specifies a certain day—today. He specified this speaking through David after such a long time:
Today, if you hear his voice,
8 For if Joshuae had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 Therefore, a Sabbath rest remains for God’s people. 10 For the person who has entered his rest has rested from his own works, just as God did from his.f 11 Let us, then, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall into the same pattern of disobedience.
12 For the word of God is living and effectiveg and sharper than any double-edged sword,h penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.i 13 No creature is hidden from him, but all things are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whomj we must give an account.
14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—let us hold fast to our confession.k 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are,l yet without sin.m 16 Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need.

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
