Hebrews 4:7-16 GNB This is shown by the fact that God sets another day, which is called "Today." Many years later he spoke of it through David in the scripture already quoted: "If you hear God's voice today, do not be stubborn." [MT-Psalm 95:7, 8] (8) If Joshua had given the people the rest that God had promised, God would not have spoken later about another day. (9) As it is, however, there still remains for God's people a rest like God's resting on the seventh day. (10) For those who receive that rest which God promised will rest from their own work, just as God rested from his. [LXX-Psa. 95:11; Gen. 2:2] (11) Let us, then, do our best to receive that rest, so that no one of us will fail as they did because of their lack of faith. (12) The word of God [the teachings by Christ] is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword. It cuts all the way through, to where soul and spirit meet, to where joints and marrow come together. It judges the desires and thoughts of the heart. (13) There is nothing that can be hid from God; everything in all creation is exposed and lies open before his eyes. And it is to him that we must all give an account of ourselves. (14) Let us, then, hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we have a great High Priest who has gone into the very presence of God---Jesus, the Son of God. (15) Our High Priest is not one who cannot feel sympathy for our weaknesses. On the contrary, we have a High Priest who was tempted in every way that we are, but did not sin. (16) Let us have confidence, then, and approach God's throne, where there is grace. There we will receive mercy and find grace to help us just when we need it.
Hebrews 4:7-16 BBE After a long time, again naming a certain day, he says in David, Today as he had said before, Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart, [MT-Psalm 95:7, 8] (8) For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have said anything about another day. (9) So that there is still a Sabbath-keeping for the people of God. (10) For the man who comes into his [God's] rest has had rest from his works, as God did from his. [LXX-Psa. 95:11; Gen. 2:2] (11) Because of this, let us have a strong desire to come into that rest, and let no one go after the example of those who went against God's orders. (12) For the word of God [the teachings by Christ] is living and full of power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through and making a division even of the soul and the spirit, the bones and the muscles, and quick to see the thoughts and purposes of the heart. (13) And there is nothing made which is not completely clear to him; there is nothing covered, but all things are open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do. (14) Having then a great high priest, who has made his way through the heavens, even Jesus the Son of God, let us be strong in our faith. (15) For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched by the feelings of our feeble flesh; but we have one who has been tested in all points as we ourselves are tested, but without sin. (16) Then let us come near to the seat of grace without fear, so that mercy may be given to us, and we may get grace for our help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:7-16 LITV He again marks out a certain day, saying in David, Today (after so long a time, according as He has said), "Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts." [MT-Psalm 95:7, 8] (8) For if Joshua gave them rest, then He would not have afterwards spoken about another day. (9) So, then, there remains a sabbath rest to the people of God. (10) For he entering into His rest, he himself also rested from his works, as God had rested from His own. [LXX-Psa. 95:11; Gen. 2:2] (11) Therefore, let us exert ourselves to enter into that rest, that not anyone fall in the same example of disobedience. (12) For the Word of God [the teachings by Christ] is living, and powerfully working, and sharper than every two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of both soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge of the thoughts and intentions of the heart; (13) and there is no creature unrevealed before Him; but all things are naked and laid open to His eyes, with whom is our account. (14) Then having a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession. (15) For we do not have a high priest not being able to sympathize with our weaknesses but One having been tried in all respects according to our likeness, apart from sin. (16) Therefore, let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and we may find grace for timely help.
