Hebrews 3:11–4:11

^11xSo I sware in my wrath, ^†They shall not enter into my rest.)

¹²Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from ^ythe living God. ¹³But ^zexhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened ^athrough the deceitfulness of sin. ¹⁴For we are made partakers of Christ, if we ^bhold the beginning of our ^cconfidence ^bstedfast unto the end; ¹⁵While it is said, ^dTo day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. ¹⁶For ^esome, when they had heard, did ^fprovoke: howbeit ^gnot all that came out of Egypt by Moses. ¹⁷But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, ^hwhose ⁱcarcases fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸And ^kto whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that ^lbelieved not? ¹⁹So we see that ^mthey could not enter in because of ⁿunbelief.

4Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you ^ashould seem ^bto come short of it. ²For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as ^cunto them: but ^†the word preached did not profit them, ^||dnot being mixed with faith in them that heard it. ³For we which have believed do enter into rest, as ^ehe said, ^fAs I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished ^gfrom the foundation of the world. ⁴For ^ehe spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, ^hAnd God did rest the seventh day from all his works. ⁵And in this place again, ^fIf they shall enter into my rest. ⁶Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and ^cthey to whom ^||it was first preached ⁱentered not in because of unbelief: ⁷Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying ^kin David, ^lTo day, after so long a time; as it is said, ^lTo day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. ⁸For if ^||Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. ⁹There remaineth therefore a ^||rest to the people of God. ¹⁰For ^mhe that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. ¹¹Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall ⁿafter the same ^oexample of ^||punbelief.
