God’s Promised Rest

Therefore we must be wary[a] that, while the promise of entering his rest remains open, none of you may seem to have come short of it. For we had good news proclaimed to us just as they did. But the message they heard did them no good, since they did not join in[b] with those who heard it in faith.[c] For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, “As I swore in my anger, ‘They will never enter my rest!’”[d] And yet God’s works[e] were accomplished from the foundation of the world. For he has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,”[f] but to repeat the text cited earlier:[g]They will never enter my rest! Therefore it remains for some to enter it, yet those to whom it was previously proclaimed did not enter because of disobedience. So God[h] again ordains a certain day, “Today,” speaking through David[i] after so long a time, as in the words quoted before,[j]Oh, that today you would listen as he speaks![k] Do not harden your hearts.” For if Joshua had given them rest, God[l] would not have spoken afterward about another day. Consequently a Sabbath rest remains for the people of God. 10 For the one who enters God’s[m] rest has also rested from his works, just as God did from his own works. 11 Thus we must make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by following the same pattern of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to the point of dividing soul from spirit, and joints from marrow; it is able to judge the desires and thoughts of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden from God,[n] but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must render an account.

Jesus Our Compassionate High Priest

14 Therefore since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin. 16 Therefore let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace whenever we need help.[o]

  3. Hebrews 4:2 tc A few mss (א and a few versional witnesses) have the nominative singular participle συγκεκερασμένος (sunkekerasmenos, “since it [the message] was not combined with faith by those who heard it”), a reading that refers back to the ὁ λόγος (ho logos, “the message”). There are a few other variants here (e.g., συγκεκεραμμένοι [sunkekerammenoi] in 104, συγκεκεραμένους [sunkekeramenous] in 1881 M), but the accusative plural participle συγκεκερασμένους (sunkekerasmenous), found in P13vid,46 A B C D* Ψ 0243 0278 33 81 1739 2464, has by far the best external credentials. This participle agrees with the previous ἐκείνους (ekeinous, “those”), a more difficult construction grammatically than the nominative singular.

Craignons donc, tandis que la promesse d’entrer dans son repos subsiste encore, qu’aucun de vous ne paraisse être venu trop tard. Car cette bonne nouvelle nous a été annoncée aussi bien qu’à eux; mais la parole qui leur fut annoncée ne leur servit de rien, parce qu’elle ne trouva pas de la foi chez ceux qui l’entendirent. Pour nous qui avons cru, nous entrons dans le repos, selon qu’il dit:

Je jurai dans ma colère:
Ils n’entreront pas dans mon repos[a]!

Il dit cela, quoique ses œuvres aient été achevées depuis la création du monde. Car il a parlé quelque part ainsi du septième jour:

Et Dieu se reposa de toutes ses œuvres le septième jour[b].

Et ici encore:

Ils n’entreront pas dans mon repos!

Or, puisqu’il est encore réservé à quelques-uns d’y entrer, et que ceux à qui d’abord la promesse a été faite n’y sont pas entrés à cause de leur désobéissance, Dieu fixe de nouveau un jour – aujourd’hui – en disant dans David[c] bien longtemps après, comme il est dit plus haut:

Aujourd’hui, si vous entendez sa voix,
N’endurcissez pas vos cœurs[d].

Car, si Josué leur avait donné le repos, Dieu ne parlerait pas après cela d’un autre jour. Il y a donc un repos de sabbat réservé au peuple de Dieu. 10 Car celui qui entre dans le repos de Dieu se repose de ses œuvres, comme Dieu s’est reposé des siennes.

11 Empressons-nous[e] donc d’entrer dans ce repos, afin que personne ne tombe en donnant le même exemple de désobéissance.

12 Car la parole de Dieu est vivante et efficace, plus tranchante qu’une épée quelconque à deux tranchants, pénétrante jusqu’à partager âme et esprit, jointures et moelles; elle juge les sentiments et les pensées du cœur. 13 Nulle créature n’est cachée devant lui, mais tout est nu et découvert aux yeux de celui à qui nous devons rendre compte.

Jésus, notre souverain sacrificateur

14 Ainsi, puisque nous avons un grand souverain sacrificateur qui a traversé les cieux, Jésus, le Fils de Dieu, demeurons fermes dans la foi que nous professons. 15 Car nous n’avons pas un souverain sacrificateur qui ne puisse compatir à nos faiblesses; au contraire, il a été tenté comme nous en toutes choses, sans commettre de péché. 16 Approchons-nous donc avec assurance du trône de la grâce, afin d’obtenir miséricorde et de trouver grâce, pour être secourus dans nos besoins.

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.
