Hebrews 4:1-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

We Will Enter God’s Place of Rest

4 God’s promise that we may enter his place of rest still stands. We are afraid that some of you think you won’t enter his place of rest. ² We have heard the same Good News that your ancestors heard. But the message didn’t help those who heard it in the past because they didn’t believe.

³ We who believe are entering that place of rest. As God said, “So I angrily took a solemn oath that they would never enter my place of rest.” God said this even though he had finished his work when he created the world. ⁴ Somewhere in Scripture God has said this about the seventh day: “On the seventh day God rested from all his work.”

⁵ God also said in the same passage, “They will never enter my place of rest.”
