And you will fold them up like a robe, and they will be changed like an article of clothing. But you will stay the same and your years will never end."

Therefore, since the children share in [bodies of] flesh and blood, Christ also, in the same way, took on a human body so that, through His death, He could destroy [the dominion of] him who had the power to cause death, that is, the devil.

So, we should do our best to enter into that state of rest, so that no one fails [to do so] by following the same example of disobedience [i.e., as seen in the Israelites. See verses 2, 6].

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
