Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still remains and is freely offered today, let us fear, in case any one of you may seem to come short of reaching it or think he has come too late.

Therefore, let us make every effort to enter into that rest, in order that no one may fall in the same pattern of disobedience.

God, in his desire to afford the heirs of the Promise a special proof of the solid character of his purpose, interposed with an oath;

By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.

by faith he left Egypt behind, not having been afraid of the wrath of the king, for, as seeing the Invisible One -- he endured;

and, so fearful was the sight, Moses said, I am exceedingly afraid and full of trembling;)

So that, taking courage, we may say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not be afraid: what will man do unto me?
