* Let us therefore fear , lest , a promise being left of entering into his rest , any one of you might seem to have failed [of it ]. * For indeed we have had glad tidings presented to us , even as they also ; but the word of the report did not profit them , not being mixed with faith in those who heard . * For we enter into the rest who have believed ; as he said , As I have sworn in my wrath , If they shall enter into my rest ; although the works had been completed from [the ] foundation of [the ] world . * For he has said somewhere of the seventh [day ] thus , And God rested on the seventh day from all his works : * and in this again , If they shall enter into my rest . * Seeing therefore it remains that some enter into it , and those who first received the glad tidings did not enter in on account of not hearkening to the word , * again he determines a certain day , saying , in David , 'To-day ,' after so long a time ; (according as it has been said before ), To-day , if ye will hear his voice , harden not your hearts . * For if Jesus had brought them into rest , he would not have spoken afterwards about another day . * There remains then a sabbatism to the people of God . * For he that has entered into his rest , he also has rested from his works , as God did from his own . * Let us therefore use diligence to enter into that rest , that no one may fall after the same example of not hearkening to the word . * For the word of God [is ] living and operative , and sharper than any two-edged sword , and penetrating to [the ] division of soul and spirit , both of joints and marrow , and a discerner of the thoughts and intents of [the ] heart . * And there is not a creature unapparent before him ; but all things [are ] naked and laid bare to his eyes , with whom we have to do .
