14 By our high priest Jesus, the Son of God,
16 we may and must go boldly to the throne of grace.

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 them that heard it.

3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

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

it remaineth. 9 1Co 7:29

7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

saying. 3:7,8 2Sa 23:1,2 Mt 22:43 Mr 12:36 Lu 20:42 Ac 2:29,31 28:25

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

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

he that. 1:3 10:12 Re 14:13

hath. Joh 19:30 1Pe 4:1,2

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

unbelief. or, disobedience. Ac 26:19 Ro 11:30-32 Eph 2:2 5:6 Col 3:6 Tit 1:16 3:3 *Gr:

12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, 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.

the word. 13:7 Isa 49:2 Lu 8:11 Ac 4:31 2Co 2:17 4:2 Re 20:4

is quick. Ps 110:2 119:130 Ec 12:11 Isa 55:11 Jer 23:29 Ro 1:16 1Co 1:24 2Co 10:4,5 1Th 2:13 Jas 1:18 1Pe 1:23 Joh 6:51 1Pe 2:4,5 *Gr:

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.

a great. 2:17 3:1 3:5,6

let. See on ch. 2:1 3:6,14 10:23

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.

we have. 5:2 Ex 23:9 Isa 53:4,5 Ho 11:8 Mt 8:16,17 12:20 Php 2:7,8

16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
