Context of Hebrews 4:10

8If Joshua had given the people rest, God would not have spoken about another day. 9Therefore, a time of eternal rest exists for God’s people. Those who entered his place of rest also rest from their work as God did from his. 11So we must make every effort to enter that place of rest. Then no one will be lost by following the example of those who refused to obey. 12God’s word is living and active. It is sharper than any two-edged sword and cuts as deep as the place where soul and spirit meet, the place where joints and marrow meet. God’s word judges a person’s thoughts and intentions.
