Hebrews 4:1-11
1Therefore, we must fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have 1come short of it. 2For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also did; but 2the word 3they heard did not benefit them, because 4they were not united with those who listened with faith. 3For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, “5As I swore in My anger, They certainly shall not enter My rest,” although His works were finished 6from the foundation of the world. 4For He has said 7somewhere concerning the seventh day: “8And God 9rested on the seventh day from all His works”; 5and again in this passage, “10They certainly shall not enter My rest.” 6Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who previously had good news preached to them failed to enter because of 11disobedience, 7He again sets a certain day, “Today,” saying 12through David after so long a time just 13as has been said before, “14Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts.” 8For 15if 16Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that. 9Consequently, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. 10For the one who has entered His rest has himself also 17rested from his works, as 18God did from His. 11Therefore let’s make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same 19example of 20disobedience.
