希伯来书 4
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
竭力进入安息
4 所以，既然那进入神[a]安息的应许还存留，我们就该惧怕，免得我们[b]当中有人看来达不到了。 2 实际上，我们也是得以听到福音的，就像他们那样；但是他们所听的话语对他们没有益处，因为他们没有因着信，与所听的相配合。 3 其实，我们这些相信的才能进入那安息，正如神所说：
“所以我在自己的震怒中起誓：
‘他们绝不能进入我的安息。’”[c]
事实上，神的工作从创世以来，就已经完成了。 4 原来关于第七日，他在经上某处这样说：
“神在第七日，
歇了他所有的工作。”[d]
5 在这里他又说：“他们绝不能进入我的安息。”[e] 6 所以，既然这安息为了一些进入它的人被保留下来，可是由于那些原先得以听到福音的人，因着不信从而没有进去， 7 神就再次设定了一个日子——“今天”，就是在很久以后藉着大卫所说的，像预先说过[f]的那样：
“今天，你们如果听见他的声音，
就不可硬着你们的心。”[g]
8 如果约书亚已经使他们得了安息，神后来就不会再说到另一个日子了。 9 这样，就有一个“安息日的安息”为了神的子民被保留下来。 10 原来，那进了神[h]安息的人，也歇了自己的工作，就像神歇了自己的工作那样。 11 所以，我们要努力进入那安息，免得有人照着那同样不信从的样式跌落了。
12 神的话语[i]是有生命的，是有功效的；比任何双刃的剑更锋利，能刺透到魂和灵的分界，以及骨节和骨髓的分界，也能辨明心中的思想和意念； 13 并且被造之物在神面前，没有一样不是显明的；万有在他眼前，都是赤裸敞开的；我们都要向他交代。
我们的大祭司
14 所以，我们既然有一位已经越过了诸天的、尊贵的大祭司——神的儿子耶稣，我们就要持守信仰[j]告白； 15 因为我们的大祭司不是不能同情我们的种种软弱，而是在各方面照着与我们相同的样式受过试探，只是没有犯罪。 16 因此，让我们坦然无惧地来到恩典的宝座前，为要得着怜悯，寻见恩典，做为及时的帮助。
Hebrews 4
New King James Version
The Promise of Rest
4 Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, (A)let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, [a]not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. 3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:
(B)“So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest,’ ”
although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: (C)“And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; 5 and again in this place: (D)“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:
(E)“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts.”
8 For if [b]Joshua had (F)given 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 (G)Let 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 (H)living and powerful, and (I)sharper than any (J)two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is (K)a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 (L)And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are (M)naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
Our Compassionate High Priest
14 Seeing then that we have a great (N)High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, (O)let us hold fast our confession. 15 For (P)we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but (Q)was in all points tempted as we are, (R)yet without sin. 16 (S)Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
