Since then the children mentioned share our mortal nature, He too took on Himself a full share of the same, in order that He by His death might put a stop to the power of him who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and set at liberty those who all their lifetime had been subject to slavery because of their dread of death. For of course it is not angels but descendants of Abraham that He is to help.

So let us fear that when the promise for us to be admitted to His rest is still remaining valid some one of you may be found to have missed it. For we have had the good news told to us as well as they, but the message heard did them no good, because they were not by faith made one with those who heeded it. For we who have believed are being admitted to that rest, just as He has said: "As in my anger I took oath, they shall not be admitted to my rest," although God's works had been completed at the creation of the world. read more.
For somewhere He speaks of the seventh day: "On the seventh day God rested from all His works"; while in this passage again He says: "They shall not be admitted to my rest." Since then it still remains that some are being admitted to it and that those who first had the good news told to them were not admitted because of disobedience, He again fixes a definite day, saying long afterward through David, as has been quoted: "If you but hear His voice, you must not harden your hearts." For if Joshua had really given them rest, He would not afterward have been speaking of another day. So a sabbath of rest is still awaiting God's people. For whoever is admitted into God's rest himself has rested from his works, just as God did. So let us do our best to be admitted to that rest, so that not one of us may fail through the same sort of disobedience.
