Therefore , ( while ) the promise of entering ... His - rest still stands , let us be careful that none ... ... of you be deemed to have fallen short (of it).
For we also received the good news just as they (did) ; but the message - they heard vvv was of no value to them , vvv since they did not share the faith of those who comprehended (it).
Now (we) who have believed enter ... (that) rest. (As for the others, ) it is just as (God) has said : “ So I swore on oath in My - anger , ‘ vvv They shall never enter ... My - rest.’” And yet (His) works have been finished since (the) foundation of (the) world.
For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh (day) in this manner : “ And on the - seventh day - God rested from all His - works.”
And again , (as He says) in (the passage above) : vvv “ They shall never enter ... My - rest. ”
Since , then , it remains (for) some to enter ... (His rest) , and (since) those who formerly heard the good news vvv did not enter because of (their) disobedience ,
vvv (God) again designated a certain day (as) “ Today , ” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated : “ Today , if you hear His - voice , {do} not harden your - hearts.”
For if Joshua - had given them rest ... , vvv vvv (God) would not have spoken later ... about another day.
There remains , then , a Sabbath rest for the people - of God.
For whoever enters ... (God’s) - rest - also rests from his (own) work , just as - God (did) from (His) ....
Let us, therefore, make every effort ... to enter ... that - rest , so that no one will fall by (following) the same pattern - of disobedience.
For the word - of God (is) living and active. - Sharper than any double-edged sword , it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit , - joints and marrow. - It Judges - (the) thoughts and intentions of (the) heart.
- Nothing in all creation is hidden from (God’s) sight ... ; - everything (is) uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we (must give) - account.
Therefore , since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens , Jesus the Son - of God , let us hold firmly to what we profess.
For vvv we do not have a high priest vvv who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses , but (we have) one who was tempted in every way that (we are) , (yet was) without sin.
vvv Let us then approach the throne - of grace with confidence , so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help (us) in (our) time of need.
