A COLLECTION OF EPISTLES

3 And we who have believed enter into rest, because he said, "I have sworn in my wrath that they will not enter into my rest," although his works were done in the beginning of the world.

4 For it is nowhere said of the seventh day, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.

5 And again here, "They shall not enter into my rest."

6 Wherefore it remains for some to enter into it, and those to whom it was formerly proclaimed did not enter into it because of their disobedience,

7 And there is still a certain day, "today," speaking through David, after so long a time, as it is said above, "Today, when ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts."

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, it would not have been said after that of another day.

9 Therefore there is still a Sabbath for the people of God.

10 For whoever has entered into his rest has himself rested from his works, even as God has from his own.

11 Let us therefore endeavour to enter into that rest, lest any one fall into disobedience by the same example.

12 Ибо слово Божие живо и действенно и острее всякого меча обоюдоострого: оно проникает до разделения души и духа, составов и мозгов, и судит помышления и намерения сердечные.

13 И нет твари, сокровенной от Него, но все обнажено и открыто перед очами Его: Ему дадим отчет.

14 Итак, имея Первосвященника великого, прошедшего небеса, Иисуса Сына Божия, будем твердо держаться исповедания нашего.

15 Ибо мы имеем не такого первосвященника, который не может сострадать нам в немощах наших, но Который, подобно нам, искушен во всем, кроме греха.

16 Посему да приступаем с дерзновением к престолу благодати, чтобы получить милость и обрести благодать для благовременной помощи.
