Hebrews 4:2-4
Contemporary English Version
Hebrews 4:2-4
Contemporary English Version
2 We have heard the message, just as they did. But they failed to believe what they heard, and the message did not do them any good. 3 (A) Only people who have faith will enter the place of rest. It is just as the Scriptures say,
“God became angry
and told the people,
‘You will never enter
my place of rest!’ ”
God said this, even though everything has been ready from the time of creation. 4 (B) In fact, somewhere the Scriptures say that by the seventh day, God had finished his work, and so he rested.

Hebrews 4:2-4
New International Version
2 For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed.[a](A) 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.”[c](C)
