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
1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it . 3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: 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 would he not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. 12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged 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 unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
