For to which of the angels did he at any time say: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again: I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

For some, when they had heard, did bitterly provoke; yet, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

But to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who believed not?

For we have had the good news preached to us, even as they had: but the word preached did not profit them, for it was not mixed with faith in those who heard it.

For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day, thus: And God did rest on the seventh day from all his works;

Since, then, it remains that some must enter into it, and they, to whom the good news was first preached, did not enter in on account of unbelief,

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