⁶ ·It is still true that some people will [or This passage shows that some can still] enter God’s rest, but those who ·first [or formerly] ·heard the way to be saved [^Lhad the Good News/Gospel proclaimed to them] did not enter, because they did not ·obey [believe; remain faithful]. ⁷ So God ·planned [set; established; ordained] another day, called “today” [3:13]. He spoke about that day through David a long time later in the ·same Scripture used before [words quoted before]:

  ⁸ [^LFor; Now] If Joshua [^CMoses’ successor, who led God’s people into the Promised Land; Josh. 3—4] had ·led the people into that [^Lgiven them] rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. ⁹ This shows that the ·rest [^LSabbath rest; ^Csharing in the rest God enjoyed after Creation] for God’s people ·is still coming [or is still available; ^Lremains]. ¹⁰ [^LFor] Anyone who enters God’s rest ·will rest [or has also rested] from his work as God did. ¹¹ Let us ·try as hard as we can [strive; make every effort] to enter ·God’s [^Lthat] rest so that no one will ·fail [be lost; ^Lfall] by following the example of those who ·refused to obey [or did not believe; were unfaithful].
