Hebrews 4:1-10 ▼

1 Therefore let us be on our guard lest perhaps, while He still leaves us a promise of being admitted to His rest, some one of you should be found to have fallen short of it.

2 For Good News has been brought to us as truly as to them; but the message they heard failed to benefit them, because they were not one in faith with those who gave heed to it.

3 We who have believed are soon to be admitted to the true rest; as He has said, "As I swore in My anger, they shall not be admitted to My rest," although God's works had been going on ever since the creation of the world.

4 For, as we know, when speaking of the seventh day He has used the words, "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works;"

5 and He has also declared, "They shall not be admitted to My rest."

6 Since, then, it is still true that some will be admitted to that rest, and that because of disobedience those who formerly had Good News proclaimed to them were not admitted,

7 He again definitely mentions a certain day, "To-day," saying long afterwards, by David's lips, in the words already quoted, "To-day, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts."

8 For if Joshua had given them the true rest, we should not afterwards hear God speaking of another still future day.

9 It follows that there still remains a sabbath rest for the people of God.

10 For He who has been admitted to His rest, has rested from His works as God did from His.
