1Let 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 Corinthians 6:1Galatians 5:4Hebrews 12:15 2For 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 .
6Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
8For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.[ † ]Joshua 22:4 9There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.[ † ]2 Peter 1:10 12For 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.[ † ]Psalms 147:15Isaiah 49:2Ephesians 6:17Revelation 2:12John 12:481 Corinthians 14:24-25
13Neither 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.[ † ]2 Chronicles 16:9Psalms 33:13-15Psalms 90:8Job 26:6Proverbs 15:11
14Seeing 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.[ † ]Hebrews 2:17Hebrews 7:26Hebrews 10:23 15For 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.[ † ]Isaiah 53:3-5Luke 22:282 Corinthians 5:21Hebrews 7:26 16Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.[ † ]Ephesians 2:18Hebrews 10:19-22
