Hebrews 4:1–11

The Believer’s Rest

¹Therefore, let us fear, lest, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have ^afallen short of it.

²For indeed we have had good news proclaimed to us, just as they also; but ^athe word ¹that was heard did not profit those ²who were not united with faith among those who heard.

³For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said,

“^aAs I swore in My wrath,

They shall not enter My rest,”

although His works were finished ^bfrom the foundation of the world.

⁴For He has spoken ^asomewhere in this way concerning the seventh day: “^bAnd God ^crested on the seventh day from all His works”;

⁵and again in this passage, “^aThey shall not enter My rest.”

⁶Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news proclaimed to them failed to enter because of ^adisobedience,

⁷He again determines a certain day, “Today,” saying ¹through David after so long a time just ^aas has been said before,

“^bToday if you hear His voice,

Do not harden your hearts.”

⁸For ^aif ¹Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that.

⁹So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

¹⁰For the one who has entered His rest has himself also ^arested from his works, as ^bGod did from His.

¹¹Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall into the same ^aexample of ^bdisobedience.
