and to whom did He swear that they shall not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe? --

for we do enter into the rest -- we who did believe, as He said, `So I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest -- ;' and yet the works were done from the foundation of the world,

and we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.

and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for it behoveth him who is coming to God to believe that He is, and to those seeking Him He becometh a rewarder.
