Hebrews 4:1-11 With the announced promise to enter into His rest (or; the ceasing which is Him) continuing in being remaining left behind down on this level for us and fully left open, we should, then, be at once caused to fear (= take respectful care and be attentive), lest at some point anyone from among you folks may be appearing (or: seeming; or: being of the opinion) to have been behind (to have come to be in the rear; or: to be deficient; or: = to have missed it)!

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ With [the] announced promise to enter into His rest (or; the ceasing which is Him) continuing in being remaining left behind down on this level [for us] and fully left [open], we should, then, be at once caused to fear (= take respectful care and be attentive), lest at some point anyone from among you folks may be appearing (or: seeming; or: being of the opinion) to have been behind (to have come to be in the rear; or: to be deficient; or: = to have missed it)! ² For you see, we are people having been addressed with goodness (or: being brought a message of ease and well-being), even as those folks, also. But the Word (or: message; thought; idea; Logos) which they heard did not profit (or: benefit) those folks – [it] not having been mixed and blended together with faith, trust or loyalty in (or: by; for; with) those at that time hearing [it]. [with other MSS: – {they} not being folks that had been co-mingled by conviction and loyalty with those paying attention and listening.] ³ For we, those at this point believing and trusting, are progressively entering into the rest (or: the stopping). Just as He has said, "As I swore in My inherent fervor (impulse; inner agitation; anger; native disposition; or: passionate desire), 'Since (or: If) they shall proceed entering into My rest ...!'," [Ps. 95:11] although (or: and yet) – with regard to the works (actions; deeds) – being born (or: brought into existence; caused to happen or occur) from [the] casting down (laying of a foundation) of an ordered system (or: of [the] world; or: namely, of the works born from cosmic conception [from the usage of katabolen with spermatos in ch. 11:11]; thus: of works generated from conception of a world). ⁴ For He said in a certain place concerning the seventh, thus, "And God rested in the seventh day from all His works." [Gen. 2:2] ⁵ And yet in this, again, "Since (or: If) they shall proceed entering into My rest ...!" ⁶ Since, then, there continues being left remaining [for] some folks to enter into it, and those being formerly addressed with goodness (or: being brought a message of ease and well-being) did not enter because of a lack of being convinced (or: incompliance; disobedience), ⁷ again, He is determining (or: He is again defining and setting bounds around) a certain day, "Today!" In David He is saying, after so long a time, just as it has been said before, "Today, if you would hear His voice, you would not be hardening your hearts." [Ps. 95:7-8] ⁸ For you see, if Joshua caused them to rest, He would not after these things have continued speaking concerning another "Day." ⁹ Consequently, a keeping of a sabbath (a state of rest) is being left remaining for (or: to; in; with) God's people, ¹⁰ for the person entering into His rest also caused himself to rest from his own works (actions; deeds), just as God [did] from His own. ¹¹ We should at once with diligence hasten, then, to enter into this rest (or: that ceasing down [from work]; completely stopping), so that one would not fall in the same example (or: result of a pattern) of incompliance (or: stubbornness; disobedience; lack of conviction; [p46 reads: lack of faith and trust]).
