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.

So that as it is clear that some have to go in, and that the first hearers of the good news were not able to go in because they went against God's orders,

Not giving up our meetings, as is the way of some, but keeping one another strong in faith; and all the more because you see the day coming near.

Because God had kept some better thing for us, so that it was not possible for them to become complete without us.

Looking with care to see that no man among you in his behaviour comes short of the grace of God; for fear that some bitter root may come up to be a trouble to you, and that some of you may be made unclean by it;

Take care to keep open house: because in this way some have had angels as their guests, without being conscious of it.
