But as I made oath in my anger, They shall never be admitted to my Rest!"

And who was it to whom God made oath that they should not be admitted to his Rest, if it was not to those who had disobeyed him?

We ought therefore to fear that when the promise of admission to his Rest is still open, some one of you may be found to have failed to reach it.

For we who have believed are admitted to that Rest, of which he said, "As I made oath in my anger, They shall never be admitted to my Rest!" And yet God's work was finished at the creation of the world,

while here he says again, "They shall never be admitted to my Rest!"

For if Joshua had really brought them rest God would not afterward have spoken of another day.

So there must still be a promised Sabbath of Rest for God's people.

For all who are admitted to God's Rest rest after their work, just as God did after his.

Let us, therefore, make every effort to be admitted to that Rest, so that none of us may fail through such disobedience as theirs.
