on saanut levon teoistaan niin kuin
Jumalakin omista teoistaan. Ilm. 14:13
11. Pyrkikäämme siis pääsemään siihen
lepoon, ettei kukaan lankeaisi
seuraamaan samaa tottelemattomuuden
esimerkkiä.
12. Jumalan sana on elävä ja voimallinen
ja terävämpi kuin mikään kaksiteräinen
miekka. Se tunkee läpi, kunnes
erottaa sielun ja hengen, nivelet ja
ytimet ja tuomitsee sydämen ajatukset
ja aikeet. Jes. 49:2; Jer. 23:29;
Ef. 6:17; Ilm. 1:16
13. Mikään luotu ei ole hänelle näkymätön,
vaan kaikki on alastonta ja
paljastettua hänen silmiensä edessä,
ja hänelle meidän on tehtävä tili.
Ps. 33:13–15, 34:16,17, 139:1–12
Jeesus on ylipappi
14. Koska meillä siis on suuri ylipappi,
läpi taivaiden kulkenut, Jeesus,
Jumalan Poika, pitäkäämme kiinni
tunnustuksesta.
Hepr. 3:1, 6:20, 7:26, 9:11,12
15. Eihän meidän ylipappimme ole
sellainen, ettei hän voi sääliä meidän
heikkouksiamme, sillä hän on ollut
kaikessa kiusattu samalla tavoin kuin
mekin, kuitenkin ilman syntiä.
Jes. 53:9; Matt. 4:1; Luuk. 22:28;
Hepr. 2:17,18; 1. Piet. 2:22
16. Käykäämme siis rohkeasti armon
valtaistuimen eteen, että saisimme
laupeuden ja löytäisimme armon
avuksemme oikeaan aikaan. Ef. 3:12;
Hepr. 10:19; 1. Joh. 3:21
Hebr 4:10 For he who has once entered [God’s] rest also has ceased from [the weariness and pain] of human labors, just as God rested from those labors [f]peculiarly His own.
11 Let us therefore be zealous and exert ourselves and strive diligently to enter that rest [of God, to know and experience it for ourselves], that no one may fall or perish by the same kind of unbelief and disobedience [into which those in the wilderness fell].
12 For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the [g]breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.
13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.
14 Inasmuch then as we have a great High Priest Who has [already] ascended and passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession [of faith in Him].
15 For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning.
16 Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God’s unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it].
