Hebrews 4:6-11
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter thereinto, and they to whom it was first preached, entered not therein for unbelief’s sake:
7 Again he appointed in David a certain day, by Today, after so long a time, saying, as it is said, (A)This day, if ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if [a]Jesus had given them rest, then would he not after this have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 [b]For he that is entered into his rest, hath also ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 [c]Let us study therefore to enter into that rest, lest [d]any man fall after the same example of disobedience.
