希伯来书 4
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
信的人可以進入安息
4 所以，那進入安息的應許，既然還給我們留著，我們就應該戰戰兢兢，恐怕我們中間有人像是被淘汰了。 2 因為有福音傳給我們，像傳給他們一樣，只是他們所聽見的道，對他們沒有益處，因為他們沒有用信心與所聽見的打成一片（“沒有用信心與所聽見的打成一片”，有古卷作“沒有用信心與聽從這道的人打成一片”）。 3 然而我們信了的人，就可以進入那安息。正如 神所說：
“我在烈怒中起誓說，
他們絕不可進入我的安息！”
其實 神的工作，從創立世界以來已經完成了。 4 因為論到第七日，他在聖經某一處說：“在第七日 神歇了他的一切工作。” 5 但在這裡又說：“他們絕不可進入我的安息。” 6 既然這安息還留著要讓一些人進去，但那些以前聽過福音的人，因為不順從不得進去； 7 所以 神就再定一個日子，就是過了很久以後，藉著大衛所說的“今天”，就像前面引用過的：
“如果你們今天聽從他的聲音，
就不要硬著心。”
8 如果約書亞已經使他們享受了安息， 神後來就不會再提到別的日子了。 9 這樣看來，為了 神的子民，必定另外有一個“安息日”的安息保留下來。 10 因為那進入 神安息的人，就歇了自己的工作，好像 神歇了自己的工作一樣。 11 所以，我們要竭力進入那安息，免得有人隨著那不順從的樣子就跌倒了。 12 因為 神的道是活的，是有效的，比一切兩刃的劍更鋒利，甚至可以刺入剖開魂與靈，關節與骨髓，並且能夠辨明心中的思想和意念。 13 被造的在 神面前沒有一樣不是顯明的，萬有在他的眼前都是赤露敞開的；我們必須向他交帳。
我們的大祭司耶穌
14 我們既然有一位偉大的、經過了眾天的大祭司，就是 神的兒子耶穌，就應該堅持所宣認的信仰。 15 因為我們的大祭司並不是不能同情我們的軟弱，他像我們一樣，也曾在各方面受過試探，只是他沒有犯罪。 16 所以，我們只管坦然無懼地來到施恩的寶座前，為的是要領受憐憫，得到恩惠，作為及時的幫助。
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.
