ed who came out of Egypt with
Moses? [3:17]And with whom was he displeased forty years? Was it not
with those that sinned? whose bodies fell in the wilderness? [3:18]And
to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest? was it
not to them that disobeyed? [3:19]And we see that they could not enter
in because of unbelief.

6 [4:1]Let us fear, therefore, lest at any time a promise being left us
of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to come short.
[4:2]For we have also received the good news as they did; but the word
of the report did not profit them, not being accompanied with faith in
those who heard. [4:3]For we enter into the rest who believed, as he
said, I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest,
although of works made from the foundation of the world. [4:4]For he
spoke in a certain place of the seventh day, thus; And God rested on
the seventh day from all his works. [4:5]And in this place again, They
shall not enter into my rest. [4:6]Since then it remains that some
entered into it, and those to whom it was first preached entered not in
on account of unbelief, [4:7]again he defines a certain day, To-day,
saying in David, after so long a time, as it was said before, To-day if
you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. [4:8]For if Joshua
caused them to rest he would not have spoken of another day afterwards.

7 [4:9]Therefore a sabbatism remains for the people of God. [4:10]For
he [Christ] who entered into his rest, also himself rested from his
works, as God from his.

8 [4:11]Let us use diligence, therefore to enter into that rest [the
heavenly rest], that no one may fall, after the same example of
disobedience. [4:12]For the word of God is living, and effective, and
sharper than any two-edged sword, and reaching even to the division of
soul and spirit, and of joints and marrows, and distinguishes thoughts
and intentions of mind; [4:13]and there is nothing which is not
manifest in his sight; for all things are naked and exposed to his
eyes, to whom our discourse relates.

CHAPTER II.

CHRIST A CHIEF PRIEST AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC.

1 [4:14]HAVING therefore a great chief priest who has gone through the
heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast the profession.
[4:15]For we have not a chief priest who cannot sympathise with our
infirmities, but one tried in all respects as we are, without sin.
[4:16]Let us therefore approach with boldness th
