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.
