*
Therefore ,
while the promise of entering his rest remains ,
let us fear lest any of you be judged to have failed to reach it .
*
For good news came to us just as to them ;
but the message which they heard did not benefit them ,
because it did not meet with faith in the hearers .
*
For we who have believed enter that rest ,
as he has said , "
As I swore in my wrath , `
They shall never enter my rest ,'"
although his works were finished from the foundation of the world .
*
For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way , "
And God rested on the seventh day from all his works ."
*
And again in this place he said , "
They shall never enter my rest ."
*
Since therefore it remains for some to enter it ,
and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience ,
*
again he sets a certain day , "
Today ,"
saying through David so long afterward ,
in the words already quoted , "
Today ,
when you hear his voice ,
do not harden your hearts ."
*
For if Joshua had given them rest ,
God would not speak later of another day .
*
So then ,
there remains a sabbath rest for the people of God ;
*
for whoever enters God '
s rest also ceases from his labors as God did from his .
*
Let us therefore strive to enter that rest ,
that no one fall by the same sort of disobedience .
