Chapter 4

fobhqwmen oun mhpote kataleipomenhV epaggeliaV eiselqein eiV thn katapausin autou dokh tiV ex umwn usterhkenai
4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left [us] of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

kai gar esmen euhggelismenoi kaqaper kakeinoi all ouk wfelhsen o logoV thV akohV ekeinouV mh sugkekramenoV th pistei toiV akousasin
4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard [it].

eisercomeqa gar eiV thn katapausin oi pisteusanteV kaqwV eirhken wV wmosa en th orgh mou ei eiseleusontai eiV thn katapausin mou kaitoi twn ergwn apo katabolhV kosmou genhqentwn
4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

eirhken gar pou peri thV ebdomhV outwV kai katepausen o qeoV en th hmera th ebdomh apo pantwn twn ergwn autou
4:4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

kai en toutw palin ei eiseleusontai eiV thn katapausin mou
4:5 And in this [place] again, If they shall enter into my rest.

epei oun apoleipetai tinaV eiselqein eiV authn kai oi proteron euaggelisqenteV ouk eishlqon di apeiqeian
4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

palin tina orizei hmeran shmeron en dabid legwn meta tosouton cronon kaqwV eirhtai shmeron ean thV fwnhV autou akoushte mh sklhrunhte taV kardiaV umwn
4:7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

ei gar autouV ihsouV katepausen ouk an peri allhV elalei meta tauta hmeraV
4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

ara apoleipetai sabbatismoV tw law tou qeou
4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

o gar eiselqwn eiV thn katapausin autou kai autoV katepausen apo twn ergwn autou wsper apo twn idiwn o qeoV
4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God [did] from his.

spoudaswmen oun eiselqein eiV ekeinhn thn katapausin ina mh en tw autw tiV upodeigmati pesh thV apeiqeiaV
4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

zwn gar o logoV tou qeou kai energhV kai tomwteroV uper pasan macairan distomon kai diiknoumenoV acri merismou yuchV te kai pneumatoV armwn te kai muelwn kai kritikoV enqumhsewn kai ennoiwn kardiaV
4:12 For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

kai ouk estin ktisiV afanhV enwpion autou panta de gumna kai tetrachlismena toiV ofqalmoiV autou proV on hmin o logoV
4:13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things [are] naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

econteV oun arcierea megan dielhluqota touV ouranouV ihsoun ton uion tou qeou kratwmen thV omologiaV
4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our] profession.

ou gar ecomen arcierea mh dunamenon sumpaqhsai taiV asqeneiaiV hmwn pepeiramenon de kata panta kaq omoiothta cwriV amartiaV
4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin.

prosercwmeqa oun meta parrhsiaV tw qronw thV caritoV ina labwmen eleon kai carin eurwmen eiV eukairon bohqeian
4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
