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.
Hebreos 4
Reina Valera Actualizada
4 Temamos, pues, mientras permanezca aún la promesa de entrar en su reposo, no sea que alguno de ustedes parezca quedarse atrás. 2 Porque también a nosotros, como a ellos, nos han sido anunciadas las buenas nuevas; pero a ellos de nada les aprovechó oír la palabra, porque no se identificaron por fe con los que la obedecieron. 3 Pero los que hemos creído sí entramos en el reposo, como él ha dicho:
Como juré en mi ira:
“¡Jamás entrarán en mi reposo!”[a],
aunque sus obras quedaron terminadas desde la fundación del mundo. 4 Porque en cierto lugar ha dicho así del séptimo día: Y reposó Dios en el séptimo día de todas sus obras[b]. 5 Y otra vez dice aquí: “¡Jamás entrarán en mi reposo!”[c].
6 Puesto que falta que algunos entren en el reposo, ya que aquellos a quienes primero les fue anunciado no entraron a causa de la desobediencia, 7 Dios ha determinado otra vez un cierto día, diciendo por medio de David: “Hoy”, después de tanto tiempo, como ya se ha dicho:
Si escuchan hoy su voz,
no endurezcan su corazón[d].
8 Porque si Josué les hubiera dado el reposo, no se hablaría después de otro día. 9 Por tanto, queda todavía un reposo sabático para el pueblo de Dios. 10 El que ha entrado en su reposo, también ha reposado de sus obras, así como Dios de las suyas. 11 Hagamos, pues, todo esfuerzo para entrar en aquel reposo, no sea que alguien caiga en el mismo ejemplo de desobediencia.
12 Porque la Palabra de Dios es viva y eficaz, y más penetrante que toda espada de dos filos. Penetra hasta partir el alma y el espíritu, las coyunturas y los tuétanos, y discierne los pensamientos y las intenciones del corazón. 13 No existe cosa creada que no sea manifiesta en su presencia. Más bien, todas están desnudas y expuestas ante los ojos de aquel a quien tenemos que dar cuenta.
Jesucristo, sumo sacerdote superior
14 Por tanto, teniendo un gran sumo sacerdote que ha traspasado los cielos, Jesús el Hijo de Dios, retengamos nuestra confesión. 15 Porque no tenemos un sumo sacerdote que no puede compadecerse de nuestras debilidades, pues él fue tentado en todo igual que nosotros pero sin pecado. 16 Acerquémonos, pues, con confianza al trono de la gracia para que alcancemos misericordia y hallemos gracia para el oportuno socorro.

Hebrews 4
New International Version
A Sabbath-Rest for the People of God
4 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) 2 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) 3 Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,
And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world. 4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”[c](D) 5 And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”(E)
6 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) 7 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:
8 For if Joshua had given them rest,(H) God would not have spoken(I) later about another day. 9 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.
