*
Therefore ,
since a promise remains of entering His rest ,
let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it .
*
For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them ;
but the word which they heard did not profit them ,
not being mixed with faith in those who heard it .
*
For we who have believed do enter that rest ,
as He has said : "
So I swore in My wrath , "
They shall not enter My rest ,"'
although the works were finished from the foundation of the world .
*
For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way : "
And God rested on the seventh day from all His works ";
*
and again in this place : "
They shall not enter My rest ."
*
Since therefore it remains that some must enter it ,
and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience ,
*
again He designates a certain day ,
saying in David , "
Today ,"
after such a long time ,
as it has been said : "
Today ,
if you will hear His voice ,
Do not harden your hearts ."
*
For if Joshua had given them rest ,
then He would not afterward have spoken of another day .
*
There remains therefore a rest for the people of God .
*
For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His .
*
Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest ,
lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience .
*
For the word of God is living and powerful ,
and sharper than any two-edged sword ,
piercing even to the division of soul and spirit ,
and of joints and marrow ,
and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart .
*
And there is no creature hidden from His sight ,
but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account .
