For those of us who have belief come into his rest; even as he has said, As I said in my oath when I was angry, They may not come into my rest: though the works were done from the time of the making of the world.

For the man who comes into his rest has had rest from his works, as God did from his.

And being angry I made an oath, saying, They may not come into my rest.

And to whom did he make an oath that they might not come into his rest? was it not to those who went against his orders?

Let us then, though we still have God's word that we may come into his rest, go in fear that some of you may be unable to do so.

For in one place he has said of the seventh day, And God had rest from all his works on the seventh day;

And in the same place he says again, They will not come into my rest.

For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have said anything about another day.

Because of this, let us have a strong desire to come into that rest, and let no one go after the example of those who went against God's orders.

And has been waiting there from that time, till all who are against him are made a foot-rest for his feet.

For here we have no fixed resting-place, but our search is for the one which is to come.
