1 Then let us fear, lest at some time, the promise to enter into his rest having been left, some of you may appear to have come short. 2 For we truly have had the gospel preached unto us, as they did also: but the word of hearing did not profit them, not being mixed with faith to those hearing. 3 For we who have believed, do enter into rest: as he has said, As I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: the works truly having been from the foundations of the world. 4 For he somewhere has spoken thus in reference to the seventh day, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works. 5 And in this again he has said, They shall not enter into my rest. 6 Then since it remains that some do enter into it, and those formerly having had the gospel preached unto them did not enter in on account of unbelief, 7 again he appoints a certain day, saying in David, as has previously been said, This day, after so long a time; If you may hear his voice this day, harden not your hearts. 8 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not speak concerning another day after these things. 9 Therefore there is a sabbatism left for the people of God. 10 For the one having entered into his rest has ceased from his works, as God did from his own.
