Hebrews 3:7-11

New International Version

Warning Against Unbelief

⁷So, as the Holy Spirit says:^(A)

“Today, if you hear his voice,
⁸    do not harden your hearts^(B)
as you did in the rebellion,
    during the time of testing in the wilderness,
⁹where your ancestors tested and tried me,
    though for forty years they saw what I did.^(C)
¹⁰That is why I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,
    and they have not known my ways.’
¹¹So I declared on oath in my anger,^(D)
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ^(E)”^[a]^(F)

¹¹Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.^(A)

¹²For the word of God^(B) is alive^(C) and active.^(D) Sharper than any double-edged sword,^(E) it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.^(F) ¹³Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight.^(G) Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
