Hebrews 4

The Message Bible MSG

1 For as long, then, as that promise of resting in him pulls us on to God's goal for us, we need to be careful that we're not disqualified.

2 We received the same promises as those people in the wilderness, but the promises didn't do them a bit of good because they didn't receive the promises with faith.

3 If we believe, though, we'll experience that state of resting. But not if we don't have faith. Remember that God said, Exasperated, I vowed, "They'll never get where they're going, never be able to sit down and rest."

4 Somewhere it's written, "God rested the seventh day, having completed his work,"

5 but in this other text he says, "They'll never be able to sit down and rest."

6 So this promise has not yet been fulfilled. Those earlier ones never did get to the place of rest because they were disobedient.

7 God keeps renewing the promise and setting the date as today, just as he did in David's psalm, centuries later than the original invitation: Today, please listen, don't turn a deaf ear . . .

8 And so this is still a live promise. It wasn't canceled at the time of Joshua; otherwise, God wouldn't keep renewing the appointment for "today."

9 The promise of "arrival" and "rest" is still there for God's people.

10 God himself is at rest. And at the end of the journey we'll surely rest with God.

11 So let's keep at it and eventually arrive at the place of rest, not drop out through some sort of disobedience.

12 God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon's scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey.

13 Nothing and no one is impervious to God's Word. We can't get away from it - no matter what. The High Priest Who Cried Out in Pain

14 Now that we know what we have - Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God - let's not let it slip through our fingers.

15 We don't have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He's been through weakness and testing, experienced it all - all but the sin.

16 So let's walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 timeamus ergo ne forte relicta pollicitatione introeundi in requiem eius existimetur aliqui ex vobis deesse

2 etenim et nobis nuntiatum est quemadmodum et illis sed non profuit illis sermo auditus non admixtis fidei ex his quae audierunt

3 ingrediemur enim in requiem qui credidimus quemadmodum dixit sicut iuravi in ira mea si introibunt in requiem meam et quidem operibus ab institutione mundi factis

4 dixit enim quodam loco de die septima sic et requievit Deus die septima ab omnibus operibus suis

5 et in isto rursum si introibunt in requiem meam

6 quoniam ergo superest quosdam introire in illam et hii quibus prioribus adnuntiatum est non introierunt propter incredulitatem

7 iterum terminat diem quendam hodie in David dicendo post tantum temporis sicut supra dictum est hodie si vocem eius audieritis nolite obdurare corda vestra

8 nam si eis Iesus requiem praestitisset numquam de alio loqueretur posthac die

9 itaque relinquitur sabbatismus populo Dei

10 qui enim ingressus est in requiem eius etiam ipse requievit ab operibus suis sicut a suis Deus

11 festinemus ergo ingredi in illam requiem ut ne in id ipsum quis incidat incredulitatis exemplum

12 vivus est enim Dei sermo et efficax et penetrabilior omni gladio ancipiti et pertingens usque ad divisionem animae ac spiritus conpagum quoque et medullarum et discretor cogitationum et intentionum cordis

13 et non est ulla creatura invisibilis in conspectu eius omnia autem nuda et aperta sunt oculis eius ad quem nobis sermo

14 habentes ergo pontificem magnum qui penetraverit caelos Iesum Filium Dei teneamus confessionem

15 non enim habemus pontificem qui non possit conpati infirmitatibus nostris temptatum autem per omnia pro similitudine absque peccato

16 adeamus ergo cum fiducia ad thronum gratiae ut misericordiam consequamur et gratiam inveniamus in auxilio oportuno
