Hebrews 4:12

Verse 12 of 16. The 4th of 13 chapters in Hebrews, in The General Letters.

8For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.

9There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

10For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.

11Let’s therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.

12For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

13There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

14Having then a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession.

15For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.

16Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.
