Hebrews 4:1-7

1ThereforeG3767, while the promiseG1860 of enteringG1525G1519 HisG846 restG2663 still standsG2641, let us be carefulG5399 that noneG3361G4219G5100 ofG1537 youG4771 be deemedG1380 to have fallen shortG5302 of it. 2ForG1063 weG1510 alsoG2532 received the good newsG2097 just asG2509 theyG2548 did; butG235 theG3588 messageG3056 they heardG189 was of no valueG3756G5623 to themG1565, since they did not shareG3361G4786 theG3588 faithG4102 of those whoG3588 comprehendedG191 it.1

3NowG1063 we whoG3588 have believedG4100 enterG1525G1519 that restG2663. As for the others, it is just asG2531 God has saidG2046:

“SoG5613 I swore on oathG3660 inG1722 MyG1473 angerG3709,‘They shall never enterG1487G1525G1519 MyG1473 restG2663.’”2

And yetG2543 His worksG2041 have been finishedG1096 sinceG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889. 4ForG1063 somewhereG4225 He has spokenG2046 aboutG4012 theG3588 seventhG1442 day in this mannerG3779: “AndG2532 onG1722 theG3588 seventhG1442 dayG2250 GodG2316 restedG2664 fromG575 allG3956 HisG846 worksG2041.”3 5AndG2532 againG3825, as He says inG1722 the passage above: “They shall never enterG1487G1525G1519 MyG1473 restG2663.”

6SinceG1893, thenG3767, it remainsG620 for someG5100 to enterG1525G1519 His rest, andG2532 since those whoG3588 formerlyG4386 heard the good newsG2097 did not enterG3756G1525 because ofG1223 their disobedienceG543, 7God again designatedG3825G3724 a certainG5100 dayG2250 as “TodayG4594,” when a longG5118 timeG5550 laterG3326 He spokeG3004 throughG1722 DavidG1138 asG2531 was just statedG4302: “TodayG4594, ifG1437 you hearG191 HisG846 voiceG5456, do notG3361 hardenG4645 yourG4771 heartsG2588.”4
