Hebrews 4

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Let us fear therefore lest the promise being left of entering into his rest, any of you should be thought to be wanting.	1 Therefore, let us be on our guard while the promise of entering into his rest remains, that none of you seem to have failed.
2 For unto us also it hath been declared, in like manner as unto them. But the word of hearing did not profit them, not being mixed with faith of those things they heard.	2 For in fact we have received the good news just as they did. But the word that they heard did not profit them, for they were not united in faith with those who listened.
3 For we, who have believed, shall enter into rest; as he said: As I have sworn in my wrath; If they shall enter into my rest; and this indeed when the works from the foundation of the world were finished.	3 For we who believed enter into (that) rest, just as he has said: "As I swore in my wrath, 'They shall not enter into my rest,'" and yet his works were accomplished at the foundation of the world.
4 For in a certain place he spoke of the seventh day thus: And God rested the seventh day from all his works.	4 For he has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this manner, "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works";
5 And in this place again: If they shall enter into my rest.	5 and again, in the previously mentioned place, "They shall not enter into my rest."
6 Seeing then it remaineth that some are to enter into it, and they, to whom it was first preached, did not enter because of unbelief:	6 Therefore, since it remains that some will enter into it, and those who formerly received the good news did not enter because of disobedience,
7 Again he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time, as it is above said: To day if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts.	7 he once more set a day, "today," when long afterwards he spoke through David, as already quoted: "Oh, that today you would hear his voice: 'Harden not your hearts.'"
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, he would never have afterwards spoken of another day.	8 Now if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterwards of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a day of rest for the people of God.	9 Therefore, a sabbath rest still remains for the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, the same also hath rested from his works, as God did from his.	10 And whoever enters into God's rest, rests from his own works as God did from his.
11 Let us hasten therefore to enter into that rest; lest any man fall into the same example of unbelief.	11 Therefore, let us strive to enter into that rest, so that no one may fall after the same example of disobedience.
12 For the word of God is living and effectual, and more piercing than any two edged sword; and reaching unto the division of the soul and the spirit, of the joints also and the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.	12 Indeed, the word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature invisible in his sight: but all things are naked and open to his eyes, to whom our speech is.	13 No creature is concealed from him, but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must render an account.
14 Having therefore a great high priest that hath passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God: let us hold fast our confession.	14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.
15 For we have not a high priest, who can not have compassion on our infirmities: but one tempted in all things like as we are, without sin.	15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested in every way, yet without sin.
16 Let us go therefore with confidence to the throne of grace: that we may obtain mercy, and find grace in seasonable aid.	16 So let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace for timely help.
