Hebrews Chapter 4

Verse 1
(ASV)
Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it.

(BBE)
Let us then, though we still have God's word that we may come into his rest, go in fear that some of you may be unable to do so.

(KJV )

Verse 1
(ASV)
Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest haply we drift away [from them].

(BBE)
For this reason there is the more need for us to give attention to the things which have come to our ears, for fear that by chance we might be slipping away.

(KJV )
Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

(My Notes)
We need to be more conscious and thoughtful of the things that we have learned so that we can be closer to Jesus.
