Hebrews 4:10-12

New Testament for Everyone

¹⁰Anyone who enters that “rest” will take a rest from their works, as God did from his.

Danger! God’s word at work

¹¹So, then, let’s make every effort to enter that “rest,” so that nobody should trip and fall through the same pattern of unbelief. ¹²God’s word is alive, you see! It’s powerful, and it’s sharper than any double-edged sword. It can pierce right in between soul and spirit, or joints and marrow; it can go straight to the point of what the human heart is thinking, or intends to do.
