And to whom did He swear that they should not enter into His rest, but to those who did not believe?

For also we have had the gospel preached, as well as them. But the Word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

Since then it remains that some must enter into it, and since they to whom it was first preached did not enter in because of unbelief,

He again marks out a certain day, saying in David, "Today," (after so long a time). Even as it is said, "Today, if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts."

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

So also Christ did not glorify Himself to be made a high priest, but He who said to Him, "You are My Son, today I have begotten You."
