- Kapitel 4 -

(Genesis 2:1–3; Exodus 16:22–30)
1
Therefore, let us be very careful so that none of you might seem to have failed to reach the promise left behind for you to enter God’s rest.
2
For we were told the good news just as they were. But that message did not benefit those who did not unite in faith with those who obeyed.
3
For we who have believed are the ones who will enter that rest, just as he said, “As I swore in my wrath, They will never enter my rest.” Even so, his created works were finished at the foundation of the world.
4
For he has said somewhere about the seventh day, “God rested on the seventh day from all his deeds.”
5
Again he has said, “They will never enter my rest.”
6
Therefore, because it is still reserved for some to enter his rest, and since many Israelites who heard the good news did not enter it because of disobedience,
7
God has again set a certain day called, “Today.” After many days, he spoke through David, as it was earlier said, “Today if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
8
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken about another day.
9
Therefore, there is still a Sabbath rest reserved for God’s people.
10
For he who enters into God’s rest has himself also rested from his deeds, just as God did from his.
11
Therefore, let us be eager to enter that rest, so that no one will fall into the kind of disobedience that they did.

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. It pierces even to the division of soul from spirit, and joints from marrow. It is able to know the heart’s thoughts and intentions.
13
Nothing created is hidden before God. Instead, everything is bare and open to the eyes of the one to whom we must give account.
14
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us firmly hold to our beliefs.
15
For we do not have a high priest who cannot feel sympathy for our weaknesses. Instead, we have someone who has in all ways been tempted as we are, except that he is without sin.
16
Let us then go with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
(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.
