As I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’”

And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient?

For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said,
“As I swore in My wrath,
They shall not enter My rest,”
although His works were finished from the foundation of the world.

For when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself,

For men swear by one greater than themselves, and with them an oath given as confirmation is an end of every dispute.

This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil,

By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised.

Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,”

Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a good conscience, desiring to conduct ourselves honorably in all things.
