* LET us , then , be afraid that , though the promise of entering his rest is still left , some one of you may seem to have missed it . * For we have received the good news just as they did , but the message that was heard did not benefit them , since it did not meet with faith in the hearers . * For we who have faith are entering into the rest , as he said , "As I swore in my wrath , 'They shall not enter into my rest ,' " although his works had been finished since the creation of the world . * For he has somewhere spoken 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 remains for some to enter into it , and those who first received the good news did not enter because of lack of faith \'97 * again he indicates a day , "to-day ," saying in David so long after , as has been already quoted , "To-day if you will hear his voice , do not harden your hearts ." * For if Joshua had given them rest he would not be speaking of another day after that . * Therefore there still remains a rest for the people of God . * For he who has entered into God 's rest has rested from his works as God did from his . * Let us endeavor then to enter into that rest so that no one shall fall , after that example of lack of faith . * For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any two-edged sword , and it pierces until it divides soul and spirit , joints and marrow , and it judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart . * There is not a creature invisible to him , but all things are naked and defenseless before the eyes of him to whom we must account .
