Hebrews 4
1 Let us fear therefore lest, while [a] promise is being left [us] to enter into his rest, any seem among you to come short. 2 For indeed we are good-newsed just as those [were], but the word of hearing did not benefit those not having mixed what was heard with belief. 3 For we the [ones] having believed enter into rest just as he said:As I swore in my wrath,
[No way] will they enter into my rest,
although the words from the foundation of the world were [already] come to be. 4 For he said somewhere concerning the seventh [day] thusly:
And God rested in the seventh day from all his works.
[No way] will they enter into my rest.
6 Since therefore he left some behind to enter into it, and the former having been good-newsed did not enter because of disobedience, 7 again he appoints a certain day—Today—saying by David after so much time, just as he speaks before:
Today if you hear his voice,
Be not hardening your hearts.
8 For if Jesus caused them to rest, he would not speak concerning others after those days. 9 Therefore [a] Sabbath rest is left to the people of God. 10 For the [one] having entered into his rest has also rested from his works, just as God [did] from his. 11 Let us hasten therefore to enter into that rest, in order that in it any in copy fall from disobedience. 12 For the word of God [is] zoe-living1 and active and more cutting than every two-edged sword and piercing to separation of psyche-life2 and spirit, joints and marrows, and able to judge the reflections and insights of the heart. 13 And no created [one] is hidden before him, but everything is naked and laid bare to his eyes, towards which the word [is] to us.
14 Having therefore [a] great chief-priest who is gone through the heavens, Jesus the son of God, let us be holding fast the confession. 15 For we do not have [a] chief-priest unable to co-suffer with our feebleness3, but being tested according to everything in quite the same way without sin. 16 Let us come therefore with boldness to the throne of grace, in order that we receive mercy and find grace for well-timed help.
1from ZOE "ZOH-ay" (ζωη)—Life 'collectively', interdependent, interconnected. Although it means 'life' in the conventional sense (for example: Matt.9:18, Matt.27:63, Luke.2:36, Acts.25:24, Rom.7:2, 2Cor.1:8, 1Thes.4:17, 1Tim.5:10, Rev.19:20), Jesus uses ZOE exclusively of 'life eternal' (with the possible exceptions of Luke.15:13, Luke.16:25). The other N.T. writers use ZOE in both senses—temporal and eternal, generally clear from the context. The Father is the 'zoe-living God' (see Matt.16:16). The Septuagint (LXX) in Gen.2:7 has "...[God] breathed into his nostrils the breath of zoe-life, and the man became a zoe-living psyche-life" (and see 1Cor.15:45); and Gen.3:20 (LXX) "And Adam called his wife's name ZOE, because she was the mother of all zoe-living." Contrast PSYCHE (ψυχη): an individual manifestation of life/consciousness. See John.12:25 where both ZOE and PSYCHE occur. Greek also has the word BIOS (βιoς ) for 'life' in the sense of biological processes.
