Hebrews 4:7

Hebrews 4:7

5 and again in this place: ^a“They shall not enter My rest.”

6 Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience,

7 again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said:
^a“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts.”

8 For if¹ Joshua had ^agiven them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day.

9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.

10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

The Word Discovers Our Condition

11 ^aLet us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.

12 For the word of God is ^aliving and powerful, and ^bsharper than any ^ctwo-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is ^da discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
