希伯来书 4
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
只有信的人得享安息
4 我们既蒙留下有进入他安息的应许，就当畏惧，免得我们[a]中间或有人似乎是赶不上了。 2 因为有福音传给我们，像传给他们一样。只是所听见的道于他们无益，因为他们没有信心与所听见的道调和。 3 但我们已经相信的人得以进入那安息，正如神所说：“我在怒中起誓说：‘他们断不可进入我的安息。’”其实造物之工，从创世以来已经成全了。 4 论到第七日，有一处说：“到第七日神就歇了他一切的工。” 5 又有一处说：“他们断不可进入我的安息。” 6 既有必进安息的人，那先前听见福音的因为不信从，不得进去， 7 所以过了多年，就在大卫的书上又限定一日，如以上所引的说：“你们今日若听他的话，就不可硬着心。” 8 若是约书亚已叫他们享了安息，后来神就不再提别的日子了。 9 这样看来，必另有一安息日的安息为神的子民存留。 10 因为那进入安息的，乃是歇了自己的工，正如神歇了他的工一样。 11 所以，我们务必竭力进入那安息，免得有人学那不信从的样子跌倒了。
神的道是有功效的
12 神的道是活泼的，是有功效的，比一切两刃的剑更快，甚至魂与灵、骨节与骨髓，都能刺入、剖开，连心中的思念和主意都能辨明； 13 并且被造的没有一样在他面前不显然的，原来万物在那与我们有关系的主眼前，都是赤露敞开的。
大祭司耶稣能体恤人的软弱
14 我们既然有一位已经升入高天尊荣的大祭司，就是神的儿子耶稣，便当持定所承认的道。 15 因我们的大祭司并非不能体恤我们的软弱，他也曾凡事受过试探，与我们一样，只是他没有犯罪。 16 所以我们只管坦然无惧地来到施恩的宝座前，为要得怜恤，蒙恩惠，做随时的帮助。

希伯来书 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
信的人得享安息
4 因此，上帝既然仍旧应许让人进入祂的安息，我们就该战战兢兢，免得有人失去这福分。 2 因为我们和他们一样听到了福音，只是他们听了道后没有凭信心领受，结果没有得到益处。 3 正如上帝曾说：
“我在愤怒中起誓说，
‘他们绝不可进入我的安息。’”
但我们这些已经信的人能够进入祂的安息。其实造物之工自创世以来就已经完成了， 4 因为圣经论到第七日时说：“第七日，上帝歇了一切的工。” 5 又说：“他们绝不可进入我的安息。” 6 既然最终会有人进入安息，而那些从前听过福音的人因为不信没能进去， 7 上帝就另定了一个日子，称之为“今日”。正如多年后，祂借着大卫说：
“你们今日若听见祂的声音，
不可心里顽固。”
8 如果当初约书亚已经让他们得到了安息，上帝就不必另定一个日子了。 9 这样说来，必定另有一个安息日为上帝的子民存留，使他们可以真正安歇。 10 因为人进入上帝的安息，就是歇了自己的工作，好像上帝歇了祂的工作一样。 11 因此，我们要竭力进入那安息，免得重蹈他们的覆辙，因不顺服而倒毙。
12 上帝的话有生命、有功效，锋利无比，胜过一切两刃的利剑，甚至能够剌入并分开魂与灵、关节与骨髓，辨明人一切的思想和动机。 13 受造物在上帝面前都无法隐藏，因为万物都是赤裸裸地暴露在上帝眼前，我们必须向祂交账。
大祭司耶稣
14 我们既然有一位已经升上高天的尊贵大祭司——上帝的儿子耶稣，就应当持守我们所认定的信仰。 15 因为我们这位大祭司并非不能体恤我们的软弱，祂与我们一样曾经面对各样的试探，却从来没有犯罪。 16 所以，让我们坦然无惧地到祂赐恩的宝座前，好领受怜悯和恩典，作随时的帮助。
Hebrews 4
1599 Geneva Bible
4 1 He joineth exhortation with threatening, lest they, even as their fathers were be deprived of the rest offered unto them, 11 but that they endeavor to enter into it. 14 And so he beginneth to entreat of Christ’s Priesthood.
1 Let us fear therefore, lest at any time by forsaking the promise of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to be deprived.
2 [a]For unto us was the Gospel preached as also unto them: but the word that they heard, profited not them, because it was not [b]mixed with faith in those that heard it.
3 [c]For we which have believed, do enter into rest, as he said to the other, (A)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.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, (B)And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter thereinto, and they to whom it was first preached, entered not therein for unbelief’s sake:
7 Again he appointed in David a certain day, by Today, after so long a time, saying, as it is said, (C)This day, if ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if [d]Jesus had given them rest, then would he not after this have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 [e]For he that is entered into his rest, hath also ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 [f]Let us study therefore to enter into that rest, lest [g]any man fall after the same example of disobedience.
12 [h]For the [i]word of God is [j]lively, and mighty in operation, and sharper than any two edged sword, and entereth through, even unto the dividing asunder of the [k]soul and the [l]spirit, and of the joints, and the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts, and the intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature, which is not manifest in [m]his sight: but all things are naked and open unto his eyes, with whom we have to do.
14 [n]Seeing then that we have a great high Priest, which is entered into heaven, even Jesus the Son of God, let us [o]hold fast our profession.
15 [p]For we have not an high Priest, which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all things tempted in like sort, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore go boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

- Hebrews 4:2 By these words, His voice, he showeth that David meant the preaching of Christ, who was then also preached, for Moses and the Prophets respected none other.
- Hebrews 4:2 He compareth the preaching of the Gospel to drink, which being drunk, that is to say, heard, profiteth nothing, unless it be tempered with faith.
- Hebrews 4:3 Lest any man should object, that those words were meant of the Land of Canaan, and of Moses’ doctrine, and therefore cannot well be drawn to Christ, and to eternal life, the Apostle showeth that there are two manner of rests spoken of in the Scriptures: the one, of the seventh day, wherein God is said to have rested from all his works: the other is said to be that same, whereinto Joshua led the people: but this rest is not the last rest whereto we are called and that he proveth by two reasons. For seeing that David so long time after, speaking to the people which were then placed in the land of Canaan, useth these words, Today, and threateneth them still that they shall not enter into the rest of God, which refuseth then the voice of God that sounded in their ears, we must needs say that he meant another time than the time of Moses, and another rest than the rest of the land of Canaan: And that is, that everlasting rest, wherein we begin to live to God, after that the race of this life ceaseth: as God resteth the seventh day from those his works, that is to say, from making the world. Moreover, the Apostle therewithal signifieth that the way to this rest, which Moses and the land of Canaan and all that order of the Law did shadow, is opened in the Gospel only.
- Hebrews 4:8 He speaketh of Joshua the son of Nun: and as the land of Canaan was a figure of our true rest, so was Joshua a figure of Christ.
- Hebrews 4:10 As God rested the seventh day, so must we rest from our works, that is, from such as proceed from our corrupt nature.

- Hebrews 4:11 Lest any man become a like example of infidelity.
- Hebrews 4:12 An amplification taken from the nature of the word of God, the power whereof is such, that it entereth even to the deepest and most inward and secret parts of the heart, wounding them deadly that are stubborn, and plainly quickening the believers.
- Hebrews 4:12 The doctrine of God which is preached both in the Law and in the Gospel.
- Hebrews 4:12 He calleth the word of God lively by reason of the effects it worketh in them, to whom it is preached.
- Hebrews 4:12 He calleth that the soul, which hath the affections resident in it.
- Hebrews 4:12 By the spirit he meaneth that nobelest part which is called the mind.
- Hebrews 4:13 In God’s sight.
- Hebrews 4:14 Now he entereth into the comparison of Christ’s Priesthood with Aaron’s, and declareth even in the very beginning the marvelous excellency of this Priesthood, calling him the Son of God and placing him in the seat of God in heaven, plainly and evidently setting him against Aaron’s Priests, and the transitory tabernacle: which comparisons he setteth forth afterward more at large.
- Hebrews 4:14 And let it not go out of your hands.
- Hebrews 4:15 Lest he might seem by this great glory of our high Priest, to stay and stop us from going unto him, he addeth straightways after, that he is notwithstanding our brother indeed, (as he proved it also before) and that he accounteth all our miseries, as his own, to call us boldly to him.
