Hebrews 4:1-10 ▼

1 Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest is still open, let us take care that none of you should seem to have failed to reach it.

2 For indeed the good news came to us just as to them; but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened.

3 For we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, “As in my anger I swore, ‘They shall not enter my rest,’” though his works were finished at the foundation of the world.

4 For in one place it speaks about the seventh day as follows, “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.”

5 And again in this place it says, “They shall not enter my rest.”

6 Since therefore it remains open for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience,

7 again he sets a certain day—“today”—saying through David much later, in the words already quoted, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not speak later about another day.

9 So then, a sabbath rest still remains for the people of God;

10 for those who enter God’s rest also cease from their labors as God did from his.
