*
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 ;
*
and there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight ;
but all things are naked and laid open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do .
