This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
4:1 Entering God’s rest/peace
4 That’s why we might be afraid: because although we had a promise to enter his rest, some of you might fail to achieve it, 2 because we’ve already had the good message preached to us just like them, but the message they heard didn’t benefit them because they weren’t united in faith with the others who listened. 3 So those of us who believed are entering that rest, as he said:[ref]
‘As I promised in my severe anger,
They will never enter into my rest.’
And yet he’s had it ready since the creation of the world. 4 For somewhere he’s spoken about the seventh day saying:[ref]
‘And on the seventh day God rested from all his works.’
‘They will never enter my rest.’
6 Therefore because it’s being retained for some people to still come into it, and those who previously had the good message preached to them didn’t come in because of their disbelief, 7 God designated a certain day saying:[ref]
‘Today if you all hear his voice,
8 Because if Yoshua had given them rest,[ref] God wouldn’t be speaking afterwards about another day. 9 So then, a time of rest is being retained for God’s people, 10 because anyone having come into their rest, also rests from their works, just as God rested from his own works.[ref] 11 Therefore we should be earnest about entering that rest, in case someone else falls by following our example of disbelief, 12 because God’s message is living and active and sharper than any high-quality sword, even penetrating to divide the soul and spirit—like separating the bone from sinews—and able to judge a person’s inner thoughts and intentions. 13 There isn’t anything in all of creation that’s hidden from him, but everything is naked and exposed to his sight as he’s the one we have to give an account to.
4:14 Yeshua is our high priest
14 So then, having Yeshua the son of God who came from and returned to the heavens as our high priest, we need to hold firmly to what we say we believe, 15 because we don’t have a high priest who’s not able to sympathise with our weakness, but rather who’s been tempted just like we are yet he didn’t sin. 16 Therefore we can boldly approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace to help us when we need it.
