Hebrews 4:1-7

1Therefore we must be wary that, while the promise of entering his rest remains open, none of you may seem to have come short of it.

2For we had good news proclaimed to us just as they did. But the message they heard did them no good, since they did not join in with those who heard it in faith.

3For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, “As I swore in my anger, ‘They will never enter my rest!’” And yet God’s works were accomplished from the foundation of the world.

4For he has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,”

5but to repeat the text cited earlier: “They will never enter my rest!”

6Therefore it remains for some to enter it, yet those to whom it was previously proclaimed did not enter because of disobedience.

7So God again ordains a certain day, “Today,” speaking through David after so long a time, as in the words quoted before, “O, that today you would listen as he speaks! Do not harden your hearts.”
