Therefore, we must fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have ^(C1)come short of it.

For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also did; but ^(C1)the word ^(F1)they heard did not benefit them, because ^(F2)they were not united with those who listened with faith.

For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, "^(C1)AS I SWORE IN MY ANGER, THEY CERTAINLY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST," although His works were finished ^(C2)from the foundation of the world.

For He has said ^(C1)somewhere concerning the seventh day: "^(C2)AND GOD ^(C3)RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORKS";

and again in this passage, "^(C1)THEY CERTAINLY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST."

Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who previously had good news preached to them failed to enter because of ^(C1)disobedience,

He again sets a certain day, "Today," saying ^(F1)through David after so long a time just ^(C1)as has been said before, "^(C2)TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS."

For ^(C1)if ^(F1)Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that.

Consequently, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

For the one who has entered His rest has himself also ^(C1)rested from his works, as ^(C2)God did from His.

Therefore let's make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same ^(C1)example of ^(C2)disobedience.
