- Kapitel 4 -

(Genesis 2:1–3; Exodus 16:22–30)
1
Let vs feare therefore, least at any time by forsaking the promise of entring into his rest, any of you should seeme to be depriued.
2
For vnto vs was the Gospel preached as also vnto them: but the worde that they heard, profited not them, because it was not mixed with faith in those that heard it.
3
For we which haue beleeued, doe enter into rest, as he said to the other, As I haue sworne in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest: although the workes were finished from the foundation of the world.
4
For he spake in a certaine place of the seuenth day on this wise, And God did rest the seuenth day from all his workes.
5
And in this place againe, If they shall enter into my rest.
6
Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter thereinto, and they to whom it was first preached, entred not therein for vnbeliefes sake:
7
Againe he appointed in Dauid a certaine day, by To day, after so long a time, saying, as it is sayd, This day, if ye heare his voyce, harden not your hearts.
8
For if Iesus had giuen them rest, then would he not after this haue spoke of an other day.
9
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10
For he that is entred into his rest, hath also ceased from his owne works, as God did from his.
11
Let vs studie therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same ensample of disobedience.

The Living Word

(2 Timothy 3:10–17)
12
For the worde of God is liuely, and mightie in operation, and sharper then any two edged sword, and entreth through, euen vnto the diuiding asunder of the soule and the spirit, and of the ioints, and the marow, and is a discerner of the thoughtes, and the intents of the heart.
13
Neither is there any creature, which is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and open vnto his eyes, with whome we haue to doe.
14
Seeing then that wee haue a great hie Priest, which is entred into heauen, euen Iesus the Sonne of God, let vs holde fast our profession.
15
For we haue not an hie Priest, which can not be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all things tempted in like sort, yet without sinne.
16
Let vs therefore goe boldly vnto ye throne of grace, that we may receiue mercy, and finde grace to helpe in time of neede.
(Genesis 2:1–3; Exodus 16:22–30)
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;”(a) 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;”(b)
5
and in this place again, “They will not enter into my rest.”(c)
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.”(d)
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.

The Living Word

(2 Timothy 3:10–17)
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, lets hold tightly to our confession.
15
For we don’t have a high priest who cant 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.
