Hebrews 4:1-3

A Rest for the People of God

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

3 For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said,
p "As I swore in my wrath,
'They shall not enter my rest,'"
although his works were finished from the foundation of the world.
