4:1

Φοβηθωμεν ουν μηποτε καταλειπομενης επαγγελιας εισελθειν εις την καταπαυσιν αυτου δοκη τις εξ υμων υστερηκεναι

Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it.

4:2

και γαρ εσμεν ευηγγελισμενοι καθαπερ κακεινοι αλλ ουκ ωφελησεν ο λογος της ακοης εκεινους μη συγκεκερασμενους τη πιστει τοις ακουσασιν

For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.

4:3

Εισερχομεθα γαρ εις την καταπαυσιν οι πιστευσαντες καθως ειρηκεν Ως ωμοσα εν τη οργη μου Ει εισελευσονται εις την καταπαυσιν μου Καιτοι των εργων απο καταβολης κοσμου γενηθεντων

For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4:4

ειρηκεν γαρ που περι της εβδομης ουτως Και κατεπαυσεν ο Θεος εν τη ημερα τη εβδομη απο παντων των εργων αυτου

For he hath said somewhere of the seventh day on this wise, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;

4:5

και εν τουτω παλιν Ει εισελευσονται εις την καταπαυσιν μου

and in this place again, They shall not enter into my rest.

4:6

Επει ουν απολειπεται τινας εισελθειν εις αυτην και οι προτερον ευαγγελισθεντες ουκ εισηλθον δι απειθειαν

Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,

4:7

παλιν τινα οριζει ημεραν Σημερον εν Δαυιδ λεγων μετα τοσουτον χρονον καθως προειρηται Σημερον εαν της φωνης αυτου ακουσητε μη σκληρυνητε τας καρδιας υμων

he again defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before), To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.

4:8

Ει γαρ αυτους Ιησους κατεπαυσεν ουκ αν περι αλλης ελαλει μετα ταυτα ημερας

For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.

4:9

αρα απολειπεται σαββατισμος τω λαω του Θεου

There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God.

4:10

ο γαρ εισελθων εις την καταπαυσιν αυτου και αυτος κατεπαυσεν απο των εργων αυτου ωσπερ απο των ιδιων ο Θεος

For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.

4:11

Σπουδασωμεν ουν εισελθειν εις εκεινην την καταπαυσιν ινα μη εν τω αυτω τις υποδειγματι πεση της απειθειας

Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall after the same example of disobedience.

4:12

Ζων γαρ ο λογος του Θεου και ενεργης και τομωτερος υπερ πασαν μαχαιραν διστομον και διικνουμενος αχρι μερισμου ψυχης και πνευματος αρμων τε και μυελων και κριτικος ενθυμησεων και εννοιων καρδιας

For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.

4:13

και ουκ εστιν κτισις αφανης ενωπιον αυτου παντα δε γυμνα και τετραχηλισμενα τοις οφθαλμοις αυτου προς ον ημιν ο λογος

And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

4:14

Εχοντες ουν αρχιερεα μεγαν διεληλυθοτα τους ουρανους Ιησουν τον Υιον του Θεου κρατωμεν της ομολογιας

Having then a great high priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

4:15

ου γαρ εχομεν αρχιερεα μη δυναμενον συμπαθησαι ταις ασθενειαις ημων πεπειρασμενον δε κατα παντα καθ ομοιοτητα χωρις αμαρτιας

For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

4:16

προσερχωμεθα ουν μετα παρρησιας τω θρονω της χαριτος ινα λαβωμεν ελεος και χαριν ευρωμεν εις ευκαιρον βοηθειαν

Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help us in time of need.
