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.

1 Timeamus ergo ne forte relicta pollicitatione introëundi in requiem ejus, existimetur aliquis ex vobis deesse.

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

BA ⟨because they were not united by faith with⟩

them that heard it.

2 Etenim et nobis nuntiatum est, quemadmodum et illis: sed non profuit illis sermo auditus, non admistus fidei ex iis quæ audierunt.

3 For we

ℵ ⟨Therefore we⟩; A ⟨Therefore, let us⟩

which have believed do

A omit

enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they

A ⟨They⟩

shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

3 Ingrediemur enim in requiem, qui credidimus: quemadmodum dixit: Sicut juravi in ira mea: Si introibunt in requiem meam: et quidem operibus ab institutione mundi perfectis.

4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day

A omit

from all his works.

4 Dixit enim in quodam loco de die septima sic: Et requievit Deus die septima ab omnibus operibus suis.

5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

5 Et in isto rursum: Si introibunt in requiem meam.

6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

6 Quoniam ergo superest introire quosdam in illam, et ii, quibus prioribus annuntiatum est, non introierunt propter incredulitatem:

7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said

ℵA ⟨it is said before⟩; B ⟨he said before⟩

, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

7 iterum terminat diem quemdam, Hodie, in David dicendo, post tantum temporis, sicut supra dictum est: Hodie si vocem ejus audieritis, nolite obdurare corda vestra.

8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

8 Nam si eis Jesus requiem præstitisset, numquam de alia loqueretur, posthac, die.

9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

9 Itaque relinquitur sabbatismus populo Dei.

10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

10 Qui enim ingressus est in requiem ejus, etiam ipse requievit ab operibus suis, sicut a suis Deus.

11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

11 Festinemus ergo ingredi in illam requiem: ut ne in idipsum quis incidat incredulitatis exemplum.

12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful

B ⟨evident⟩

, 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.

12 Vivus est enim sermo Dei, et efficax et penetrabilior omni gladio ancipiti: et pertingens usque ad divisionem animæ ac spiritus: compagum quoque ac medullarum, et discretor cogitationum et intentionum cordis.

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.

13 Et non est ulla creatura invisibilis in conspectu ejus: omnia autem nuda et aperta sunt oculis ejus, ad quem nobis sermo.

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.

14 ¶ Habentes ergo pontificem magnum qui penetravit cælos, Jesum Filium Dei, teneamus confessionem.

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.

15 Non enim habemus pontificem qui non possit compati infirmitatibus nostris: tentatum autem per omnia pro similitudine absque peccato.

16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find

B omit

grace to help in time of need.

16 Adeamus ergo cum fiducia ad thronum gratiæ: ut misericordiam consequamur, et gratiam inveniamus in auxilio opportuno.
