* Let us then fear , since a promise is still left us of entering into his rest , lest any one of you should appear to fail of obtaining it . * For to us were glad tidings addressed , as well as to them ; but the word which was heard did not profit them , not being mixed with faith in those who heard it . * For we who believed enter into the rest , as he hath said : "So I swore in my wrath , they shall not enter into my rest ;" although the works were finished from the foundation of the world . * For he hath spoken in a certain place of the seventh day thus : "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works ;" * and in this place again : "They shall not enter into my rest ." * Since then it still remaineth for some to enter into it , and they to whom the glad tidings of it were first brought did not enter in because of disobedience , * he again appointeth a certain day , "To –day "––saying in David so long a time after , as hath before been said ––"To –day , if ye hear his voice , harden not your hearts ." * For if Joshua had given them rest , he would not after this be speaking of another day . * There remaineth therefore a sabbath –rest to the people of God . * For he that hath entered into his rest , hath himself rested from his works , as God did from his own . * Let us then strive to enter into that rest , that no one may fall , as a like example of disobedience . * For the word of God is living , and powerful , and sharper than any two –edged sword , piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit , both the joints and marrow , and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart ;
