Hebrews 3:15–4:2

¹⁵As it is said,

^b“Today, if you hear his voice,

do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

¹⁶For ⁱwho were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not ^jall those who left Egypt led by Moses? ¹⁷And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, ^kwhose bodies fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸And to whom did he swear that ^lthey would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? ¹⁹So we see that ^mthey were unable to enter because of unbelief.

4Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem ⁿto have failed to reach it. ²For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because ^othey were not united by faith with those who listened.¹
