Hebrews 4:1-11
The Sabbath Rest
1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left [us] of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
1:
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard [it].
2:
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
3:
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
4:
5 And in this [place] again, If they shall enter into my rest.
5:
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
6:
7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
7:
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
8:
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
9:
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God [did] from his.
10:
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
11:
