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
New Living Translation
6 So God’s rest is there for people to enter, but those who first heard this good news failed to enter because they disobeyed God. 7 So God set another time for entering his rest, and that time is today. God announced this through David much later in the words already quoted:
“Today when you hear his voice,
don’t harden your hearts.”[a]
8 Now if Joshua had succeeded in giving them this rest, God would not have spoken about another day of rest still to come. 9 So there is a special rest[b] still waiting for the people of God. 10 For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world. 11 So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall.
