Hebrews 4:6-11
Christian Standard Bible
6 Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news did not enter because of disobedience,(A) 7 he again specifies a certain day—today. He specified this speaking through David after such a long time:
8 For if Joshua(C) had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 Therefore, a Sabbath rest remains for God’s people. 10 For the person who has entered his rest has rested from his own works, just as God did from his.(D) 11 Let us, then, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall into the same pattern of disobedience.

Hebrews 4:6-11
International Standard Version
6 Therefore, since it is still true that some will enter it, and since those who once heard the good news failed to enter it because of their disobedience, 7 he again fixes a definite day—“Today”—saying long afterward through David, as already quoted,
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”[a]
8 For if Joshua[b] had given them rest, he would not have spoken later about another day.
9 There remains, therefore, a Sabbath rest for the people of God to keep, 10 because the one who enters God’s[c] rest has himself rested from his own actions, just as God did[d] from his. 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fail by following their example of disobedience.
