"As I swore in my anger, 'They will never enter my rest!'"

And to whom did he swear they would never enter into his rest, except those who were disobedient?

For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, "As I swore in my anger, 'They will never enter my rest!'" And yet God's works were accomplished from the foundation of the world.

Now when God made his promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,

For people swear by something greater than themselves, and the oath serves as a confirmation to end all dispute.

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, sure and steadfast, which reaches inside behind the curtain,

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, being convinced of what we do not see.

By faith, even though Sarah herself was barren and he was too old, he received the ability to procreate, because he regarded the one who had given the promise to be trustworthy.

Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to conduct ourselves rightly in every respect.
