so I swore in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.

And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who had not hearkened to the word?

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you might seem to have failed of it.

For we enter into the rest who have believed; as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest; although the works had been completed from the foundation of the world.

and in this again, If they shall enter into my rest.

For if Jesus had brought them into rest, he would not have spoken afterwards about another day.

For he that has entered into his rest, he also has rested from his works, as God did from his own.

Let us therefore use diligence to enter into that rest, that no one may fall after the same example of not hearkening to the word.
