Us therefore

Let us then make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall into the same pattern of disobedience.

We must, therefore, pay even more attention to what we have heard, so that we will not drift away.

Make sure that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no root of bitterness springs up, causing trouble and by it, defiling many.

Remember your leaders who have spoken God’s word to you. As you carefully observe the outcome of their lives, imitate their faith.

A wise man is cautious and turns from evil,
but a fool is easily angered and is careless.

Happy is the one who is always reverent,
but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.

“I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never turn away from doing good to them, and I will put fear of Me in their hearts so they will never again turn away from Me.

True enough; they were broken off by unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.

So, whoever thinks he stands must be careful not to fall.

A promise

Therefore, a Sabbath rest remains for God’s people.

You will bear the consequences of your sins 40 years based on the number of the 40 days that you scouted the land, a year for each day.

You will know My displeasure.

“Therefore, this is the declaration of the Lord, the God of Israel:

‘Although I said
your family and your ancestral house
would walk before Me forever,
the Lord now says, “No longer!”
I will honor those who honor Me,
but those who despise Me will be disgraced.

What then? If some did not believe, will their unbelief cancel God’s faithfulness?

if we are faithless, He remains faithful,
for He cannot deny Himself.

His

(for we who have believed enter the rest), in keeping with what He has said:

So I swore in My anger,
they will not enter My rest.

And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world,

So I swore in My anger,
“They will not enter My rest.”

Any

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord!’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father in heaven.

But if that wicked slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delayed,’

“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like 10 virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom.

But if that slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and starts to beat the male and female slaves, and to eat and drink and get drunk,

once the homeowner gets up and shuts the door. Then you will stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up for us!’ He will answer you, ‘I don’t know you or where you’re from.’

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Therefore I do not run like one who runs aimlessly or box like one beating the air.

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

Then great fear came on the whole church and on all who heard these things.
