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 he would not afterward have spoken of another day.
9. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10. For he that hath entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.)
11. Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
12. For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged 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 to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14. Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, that hath passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15. For we have not a high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but who was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
16. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
