Hebrews 4:1-10 ▼

1 Let us, therefore, fear, lest a promise still being left of entering into His rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it .

2 For, indeed, we have had the Gospel proclaimed to us, even as also they; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not having been mingled with faith on the part of those who heard.

3 For we who believed do enter into rest, even as He said, "As I swore in My wrath, they shall not enter into My rest; although the works were finished from the founding of a world."

4 For He hath spoken somewhere concerning the seventh day thus: "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works;"

5 and, in this place , again: "They shall not enter into My rest."

6 Since, therefore, it remains for some to enter into it, and those to whom the Gospel was formerly proclaimed entered not in because of unbelief,

7 again He designateth a certain day, "To-day" (saying in David, after so long a time, as has been before said), "To-day, if ye hear His voice, harden not your hearts."

8 For, had Joshua given them rest, He would not afterward have spoken of another day.

9 Consequently, there remains a sabbath-keeping for the people of God.

10 For He Who entered into His rest, Himself also rested from his works, as God did from His Own.
