Hebrews 4:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 4:9

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.

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.

13 ^aAnd there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are ^bnaked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
