¹⁶For who, when they^* heard it, were disobedient? Surely it was not all who went out from Egypt through Moses? ¹⁷And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸And to whom did he swear they would not enter into his rest, except those who were disobedient? ¹⁹And so we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.

The Rest that Remains for the People of God

4Therefore let us fear, while there^* remains a promise of entering into his rest, that none of you appear to fall short of it. ²For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us^a, just as those also did, but the message they heard^b did not benefit them, because they^* were not united with those who heard it in faith.
