Hebrews 4:6-11
English Standard Version
6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news (A)failed to enter because of disobedience, 7 again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted,
(B)“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God[a] would not have spoken of another day later on. 9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, 10 for whoever has entered God's rest has also (C)rested from his works as God did from his.
11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so (D)that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.

Today, if you hear his voice,
don’t have stubborn hearts.[a]
8 If Joshua gave the Israelites rest, God wouldn’t have spoken about another day later on. 9 So you see that a sabbath rest is left open for God’s people. 10 The one who entered God’s rest also rested from his works, just as God rested from his own.
First summary of the message
