- Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
- Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
- For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
- There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
- For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

- It still remains that some will enter that rest, and those who formerly had the gospel preached to them did not go in, because of their disobedience.
- Therefore God again set a certain day, calling it Today, when a long time later he spoke through David, as was said before: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts."
- For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
- There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God;
- for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his.
