9. There remains therefore a rest {Gr. Sabbatismos} for the people of God.
10. For he that is entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11. Let us therefore make haste to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.
12. For the word of God is alive and efficient 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 created thing that is not manifested in his presence, but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him of whom we speak.
14. Having, therefore, a great high priest who penetrated the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast this profession of our hope.
15. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16. Let us, therefore, come boldly unto the throne of his grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
