Hebrews 4:6-11

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁶ However, some people enter that place of rest. Those who heard the Good News in the past did not enter God’s place of rest because they did not obey God. ⁷ So God set another day. That day is today. Many years after ⌞your ancestors failed to enter that place of rest⌟ God spoke about it through David in the passage already quoted: “If you hear God speak today, don’t be stubborn.” ⁸ If Joshua had given the people rest, God would not have spoken about another day. ⁹ Therefore, a time of eternal rest exists for God’s people. ¹⁰ Those who entered his place of rest also rest from their work as God did from his.

¹¹ So we must make every effort to enter that place of rest. Then no one will be lost by following the example of those who refused to obey.
