¹⁸ And to whom did he swear that ^(A)they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? ¹⁹ So we see that ^(B)they were unable to enter because of unbelief.

⁶ On that day I swore to them that ^(A)I would bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, a land ^(B)flowing with milk and honey, ^(C)the most glorious of all lands.

³² Yet in spite of this word ^(A)you did not believe the Lord your God,

^31 (A)But your little ones, who you said would become a prey, I will bring in, and they shall know the land that ^(B)you have rejected.

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,

⁵ Now I want ^(A)to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that ^(B)Jesus, who saved^[a] a people out of the land of Egypt, ^(C)afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

¹⁶ that no one is ^(A)sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal.

² For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because ^(A)they were not united by faith with those who listened.^[a]

¹² Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from ^(A)the living God.
