12 Take heed, brethren, that there be no evil and unfaithful heart in any of you, lest you depart from the living God.

13 But instruct one another every day, as long as it is possible to say, 'Today,' lest any of you be hardened, being deceived by sin.

14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if only we keep the life we have begun firmly to the end,

15 For as long as it is said, "Now when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the time of murmuring."

16 For some of those who heard murmured; but not all those who came out of Egypt with Moses.

17 Against whom then did he be indignant for forty years? Is it not on those who have sinned, whose bones fell in the wilderness?

18 Against whom then did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, but against those who were disobedient?

E-19 So we see that they couldn't come in because of unbelief.

4

1 Wherefore let us beware lest, when there is still a promise to enter into his rest, any of you be found late.

2 For it has been declared unto us, as also to them; but the word they heard did not profit them, not dissolved by the faith of those who heard.

3 And we who have believed enter into rest, because he said, "I have sworn in my wrath that they will not enter into my rest," although his works were done in the beginning of the world.

4 For it is nowhere said of the seventh day, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.

5 And again here, "They shall not enter into my rest."

6 Wherefore it remains for some to enter into it, and those to whom it was formerly proclaimed did not enter into it because of their disobedience,

7 And there is still a certain day, "today," speaking through David, after so long a time, as it is said above, "Today, when ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts."

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, it would not have been said after that of another day.

9 Therefore there is still a Sabbath for the people of God.
