Hebrews 3:12

A Serious Warning Against Unbelief

¹¹ So I swore in My anger,
“They will not enter My rest.” ¹² Watch out, brothers, so that there won’t be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart that departs from the living God. ¹³ But encourage each other daily, while it is still called today, so that none of you is hardened by sin’s deception.
