Hebrews 4:3-5
New English Translation
3 For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, “As I swore in my anger, ‘They will never enter my rest!’”[a] And yet God’s works[b] were accomplished from the foundation of the world. 4 For he has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,”[c] 5 but to repeat the text cited earlier:[d] “They will never enter my rest!”

New International Version
3 Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,
And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world. 4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”[b](B) 5 And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”(C)
