For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;”Psalm 95:11 although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, “God rested on the seventh day from all his works;”Genesis 2:2 and in this place again, “They will not enter into my rest.”Psalm 95:11

Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. For indeed we have had [a]good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because [b]it was not united by faith with them that heard. [c]For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said,

[d][e]As I sware in my wrath,
[f]They shall not enter into my rest:

[h][i]They shall not enter into my rest.
