¹Therefore dread we, lest peradventure while the promise of entering into his rest is left, that any of us be guessed to be away or to fail.

²For it is told also to us, as to them. And the word that was heard profited not to them, not mingled to faith of those things that they heard.

³For we that have believed, shall enter into rest, as he said, As I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest. And when the works were made perfect at the ordinance of the world,

⁴he said thus in a place or in some place of the seventh day, And God rested in the seventh day from all his works.

⁵And in this place again, They shall not enter into my rest.

⁶Therefore for it pursueth, that some men shall enter into it, and they to which it was told to before, entered not for their unbelief.

⁷Again, he determineth some day, and saith in David, Today, after so much time of time, as it is before-said, Today if ye have heard his voice, do not ye harden your hearts.

⁸For if Jesus, that is, Joshua, had given rest to them, he should never speak of other after this day.

⁹Therefore the sabbath or rest is left to the people of God.

¹⁰For he that is entered into his rest, rested of his works, as also God of his.

¹¹Therefore haste we to enter into that rest, that no man fall into the same ensample of unbelief.

¹²For the word of God is quick, and speedy in working, and more able to pierce than any twain-edged sword, and stretcheth forth till to the parting of the soul and of the spirit, and of the jointures and marrows, and it is the deemer of thoughts, and of intents of hearts.

¹³And no creature is invisible in the sight of God. For all things be naked and open to his eyes, to whom a word to us.

¹⁴Therefore we that have a great bishop, that pierced heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, hold we the acknowledging or the confession of our hope.

¹⁵For we have not a bishop, that may not have compassion on our infirmities, but was tempted by all things by likeness, without sin.

¹⁶Therefore go we with trust to the throne of his grace, that we get mercy, and find grace in covenable help.
