히브리서 4
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
4 그러므로 하나님께서 안식에 들어가게 해 주시겠다는 약속이 아직도 남아 있는 동안에, 여러분 가운데 아무도 그 안식에 들어가지 못하는 사람이 없도록 두려운 마음으로 조심하십시오. 2 이스라엘 백성에게도, 우리에게도, 기쁜 소식이 전해졌습니다. 그러나 그들이 전해들은 말씀은 그들에게 아무 도움이 되지 못하였습니다. 그들은 기쁜 소식을 듣고, 그것을 믿음으로 받아들이지 않았기 때문입니다. 3 이제 그것을 믿은 우리만이 하나님의 안식에 들어가 쉼을 얻을 것입니다. 하나님께서는 믿지 않은 사람들을 두고 이렇게 말씀하셨습니다.
“그래서 나는 화가 나서 이렇게 맹세하였다.
‘그들은 결코 나의 안식에 들어와
쉼을 얻지 못하리라.’”(A)
사실 하나님께서 세상을 창조하셨을 때에 모든 일을 다 마치시고, 그 뒤로 쉬셨습니다. 4 성경[a] 어디에선가 일곱째 날에 대해 이렇게 말하고 있습니다. “그리고 일곱째 날에 하나님께서 모든 일을 마치고 쉬셨다.”(B) 5 그러나 위에서 말한 다른 구절에서는 “그들은 결코 나의 안식에 들어오지 못하리라.” 고 하셨습니다.
6 전에 자기들에게 전해진 하나님의 기쁜 소식을 들었으나 순종하지 않은 사람들은 하나님의 안식에 들어가지 못했습니다. 그러나 어떤 이들에게는 들어갈 기회가 아직도 남아 있습니다. 7 그래서 하나님께서는 당신의 안식에 들어갈 또 다른 때를 정하셨는데, 그때가 바로 오늘입니다. 하나님께서는 이 사실을 오랜 세월이 흐른 뒤에 다윗을 통하여 선포하셨습니다. 바로 앞에서 말한 성경 대목에서 이렇게 말씀하셨습니다.
“오늘
너희가 그분의 음성을 듣거든
무디고 고집스런 마음을 품지 말아라.”(C)
8 만일 여호수아가 이스라엘 백성에게 안식을 주었더라면, 하나님께서 나중에 또 다른 안식의 날에 대해 말씀하지 않으셨을 것입니다. 9 그렇다면 하나님의 백성에게는 일곱째 날의 안식[b]이 이미 이루어진 것이 아니고 앞으로 다가올 일로 남아 있습니다. 10 하나님의 안식에 들어가는 사람은, 하나님께서 당신의 일을 마치고 쉬신 것처럼, 그도 자기의 일을 마치고 쉬는 것입니다. 11 그러므로 우리는 그 안식에 들어가도록 있는 힘을 다해 노력합시다. 아무도 옛날 사람들처럼 순종하지 않다가 떨어져 나가는 일이 없도록 합시다.
12 하나님의 말씀[c]은 살아 움직입니다. 그것은 양날 칼보다 더 날카로워서, 정신과 영혼을 갈라내고, 뼈마디와 뼛골을 갈라내기까지 꿰뚫고 들어가, 마음에 품은 생각과 속셈을 자세히 살핍니다. 13 이 세상의 어느 것도 그분의 눈길을 피할 수 없습니다. 하나님 앞에서는 모든 것이 드러나며, 그분의 눈앞에서는 모든 것이 벌거숭이가 됩니다. 그분은 우리의 재판장이시니, 우리는 그분께 우리의 살아온 모습 그대로를 말씀드리지 않을 수 없습니다.
예수는 우리가 하나님 앞으로 나아가도록 도우신다
14 우리에게는 하늘로 들어가신 위대한 대제사장이 계십니다. 곧 하나님의 아들 예수이십니다. 그러니 우리가 고백하는 신앙을 굳게 지킵시다. 15 우리의 대제사장이신 예수는 우리의 연약함을 동정할 줄 모르는 그런 분이 아니십니다. 그분은 이 세상에 사실 때에, 우리와 똑같이 온갖 시험을 다 당하셨습니다. 그러나 결코 죄는 짓지 않으셨습니다. 16 이제 예수를 우리의 대제사장으로 모셨으니, 우리는 자신 있게 은혜의 보좌 앞으로 나아갈 수 있습니다. 그러면 필요한 때에 우리를 도와줄 하나님의 자비와 은혜를 받게 될 것입니다.
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.

English Standard Version
4 Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem (A)to have failed to reach it. 2 For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because (B)they were not united by faith with those who listened.[a] 3 For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said,
(C)“As I swore in my wrath,
‘They shall not enter my rest,’”
although his works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: (D)“And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.” 5 And again in this passage he said,
(E)“They shall not enter my rest.”
6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news (F)failed to enter because of disobedience, 7 again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted,
(G)“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God[b] would not have spoken of another day later on. 9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, 10 for whoever has entered God's rest has also (H)rested from his works as God did from his.
11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so (I)that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. 12 For (J)the word of God is living and (K)active, (L)sharper than any (M)two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and (N)discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And (O)no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are (P)naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
Jesus the Great High Priest
14 Since then we have (Q)a great high priest (R)who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, (S)let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest (T)who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been (U)tempted as we are, (V)yet without sin. 16 (W)Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 4
King James Version
4 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.
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.
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.
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.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
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.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 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.
