so that I swore in my anger, They shall not enter into my rest.

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

Let us fear, therefore, lest, as a promise of entering into his rest still remains, any of you should seem to come short of it.

For we who have believed are to enter into rest, as he said: So I swore in my anger, they shall not enter into my rest; namely, that rest from his works which had been finished from the foundation of the world.

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

and in this place again: They shall not enter into my rest.

For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not, after this, have spoken of another day.

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

Let us earnestly strive, therefore, to enter into that rest, lest any one fall after the same example of unbelief.
