既然我们能够进入上帝安息的许诺依然存在,那么就让我们当心吧,不要让你们中间任何人被认为失败了。 我们像以色列人一样,上帝的福音已经传播给了我们,但是以色列人听到福音却没有受益,因为他们听到福音时,没有怀着信仰去接受。 只有我们这些相信的人才能得到这安宁。正如上帝所说:

“我在愤怒中发誓说:
‘他们绝不能从我这里得到安宁。’” (A)

然而自创世以来,上帝已经完成了他的工作。 《经》里有一处是这样描写第七天的∶“第七天,上帝停下所有的工作,休息了。” [a] 在上一段里,上帝还说:

“他们绝不能从我这里得到安息。” (B)

所以,尽管有人会进入他的安宁,但那些早已听到向他们传播的福音,却不服从的人,就没有进入这安宁, 因此上帝又设定某一天为“今天”。很多年以后,上帝通过大卫谈论到这天,也就是我们在上文中所引用的那段:

“今天,如果你们听到了上帝的声音,
不要像过去一样固执。” (C)

因为,假如约书亚 [b]已经带领人们得到了上帝许诺的安宁,那么,上帝后来就不会再说到另一个日子了。 所以,第七天依旧是上帝子民的安息日。 10 任何从上帝那里得到安息的人,都会停下工作去休息,就像上帝停止工作去休息一样。 11 因此,让我们努力争取得到那安宁,免得步以色列人不服从的后尘而得不到它。

12 上帝的话是有生命力和积极的,它比任何双刃宝剑都要锋利,它能够穿透、剖分灵与魂、关节和骨髓,它能够判断人们心中的意图与思想。 13 没有任何被创造的事物能躲过他的视野,一切都赤裸裸地袒露在他的眼前,我们必须向他交待我们的生活方式。

耶稣是我们的大祭司

14 既然我们有一位升入天国的大祭司,即上帝之子耶稣,那么就让我们坚持我们表达的信仰吧。 15 我们的大祭司并非是不同情我们弱点的人,他也曾像我们一样,在各方面受到诱惑,然而从没有犯罪。 16 让我们满怀信心来到赐恩典的那位的宝座前,以便在我们有需要的时候领受到他的怜悯,并得到他仁慈的帮助。

A Sabbath-Rest for the People of God

Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it.(A) For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed.[a](B) Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,

“So I declared on oath in my anger,
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”[b](C)

And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world. For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”[c](D) And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”(E)

Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience,(F) God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted:

“Today, if you hear his voice,
    do not harden your hearts.”[d](G)

For if Joshua had given them rest,(H) God would not have spoken(I) later about another day. There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works,[e](J) just as God did from his.(K) 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.(L)

12 For the word of God(M) is alive(N) and active.(O) Sharper than any double-edged sword,(P) it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.(Q) 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight.(R) Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Jesus the Great High Priest

14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest(S) who has ascended into heaven,[f](T) Jesus the Son of God,(U) let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.(V) 15 For we do not have a high priest(W) who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are(X)—yet he did not sin.(Y) 16 Let us then approach(Z) God’s throne of grace with confidence,(AA) so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

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.

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.

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.

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.

And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

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.

For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
