Hebrews 4
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.

The Believer’s Rest
4 Therefore, let us fear, lest, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have (A)fallen short of it. 2 For indeed we have had good news proclaimed to us, just as they also; but (B)the word [a]that was heard did not profit those [b]who were not united with faith among those who heard. 3 For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said,
“(C)As I swore in My wrath,
They shall not enter My rest,”
although His works were finished (D)from the foundation of the world. 4 For He has spoken (E)somewhere in this way concerning the seventh day: “(F)And God (G)rested on the seventh day from all His works”; 5 and again in this passage, “(H)They shall not enter My rest.” 6 Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news proclaimed to them failed to enter because of (I)disobedience, 7 He again determines a certain day, “Today,” saying [c]through David after so long a time just (J)as has been said before,
“(K)Today if you hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts.”
8 For (L)if [d]Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that. 9 So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. 10 For the one who has entered His rest has himself also (M)rested from his works, as (N)God did from His. 11 Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall into the same (O)example of (P)disobedience. 12 For (Q)the word of God is (R)living and (S)active and sharper than any two-edged (T)sword, and piercing as far as the division of (U)soul and (V)spirit, of both joints and marrow, and (W)able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And (X)there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are [e](Y)uncovered and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we have an account to give.
Jesus Our Great High Priest
14 Therefore, since we have a great (Z)high priest who has (AA)passed through the heavens, Jesus (AB)the Son of God, let us take hold of our (AC)confession. 15 For we do not have (AD)a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been (AE)tempted in all things like we are, yet (AF)without sin. 16 Therefore let us (AG)draw near with (AH)confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

El descanso prometido para el pueblo de Dios
4 Todavía sigue vigente la promesa que hizo Dios de entrar en su descanso; por lo tanto, debemos temblar de miedo ante la idea de que alguno de ustedes no llegue a alcanzarlo. 2 Pues esta buena noticia—del descanso que Dios ha preparado—se nos ha anunciado tanto a ellos como a nosotros, pero a ellos no les sirvió de nada porque no tuvieron la fe de los que escucharon a Dios.[a] 3 Pues solo los que creemos podemos entrar en su descanso. En cuanto a los demás, Dios dijo:
«En mi enojo juré:
“Ellos nunca entrarán en mi lugar de descanso”»[b],
si bien ese descanso está preparado desde que él hizo el mundo. 4 Sabemos que está preparado debido al pasaje en las Escrituras que menciona el séptimo día: «Cuando llegó el séptimo día, Dios descansó de toda su labor»[c]. 5 Pero en el otro pasaje Dios dijo: «Ellos nunca entrarán en mi lugar de descanso»[d].
6 Así que el descanso de Dios está disponible para que la gente entre, pero los primeros en oír esta buena noticia no entraron, porque desobedecieron a Dios. 7 Entonces Dios fijó otro tiempo para entrar en su descanso, y ese tiempo es hoy. Lo anunció mucho más tarde por medio de David en las palabras que ya se han citado:
«Cuando oigan hoy su voz
no endurezcan el corazón»[e].
8 Ahora bien, si Josué hubiera logrado darles ese descanso, Dios no habría hablado de otro día de descanso aún por venir. 9 Así que todavía hay un descanso especial[f] en espera para el pueblo de Dios. 10 Pues todos los que han entrado en el descanso de Dios han descansado de su trabajo, tal como Dios descansó del suyo después de crear el mundo. 11 Entonces, hagamos todo lo posible por entrar en ese descanso, pero si desobedecemos a Dios, como lo hizo el pueblo de Israel, caeremos.
12 Pues la palabra de Dios es viva y poderosa. Es más cortante que cualquier espada de dos filos; penetra entre el alma y el espíritu, entre la articulación y la médula del hueso. Deja al descubierto nuestros pensamientos y deseos más íntimos. 13 No hay nada en toda la creación que esté oculto a Dios. Todo está desnudo y expuesto ante sus ojos; y es a él a quien rendimos cuentas.
Cristo es nuestro Sumo Sacerdote
14 Por lo tanto, ya que tenemos un gran Sumo Sacerdote que entró en el cielo, Jesús el Hijo de Dios, aferrémonos a lo que creemos. 15 Nuestro Sumo Sacerdote comprende nuestras debilidades, porque enfrentó todas y cada una de las pruebas que enfrentamos nosotros, sin embargo, él nunca pecó. 16 Así que acerquémonos con toda confianza al trono de la gracia de nuestro Dios. Allí recibiremos su misericordia y encontraremos la gracia que nos ayudará cuando más la necesitemos.
