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.

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.
