Hebrews 4:3-9 Upon that Rest we who have believed are now entering. As God has said-- 'In my wrath I swore--"They shall never enter upon my Rest;"' Although God's work was finished at the creation of the world;

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Upon that Rest we who have believed are now entering. As God has said-- 'In my wrath I swore--"They shall never enter upon my Rest;"' Although God's work was finished at the creation of the world; ⁴ for, in a passage referring to the seventh day, you will find these words-- 'God rested upon the seventh day after all his work.' ⁵ On the other hand, we read in that passage-- ' They shall never enter upon my Rest.' ⁶ Since, then, there is still a promise that some shall enter upon this Rest, and since those who were first told the Good News did not enter upon it, because of their disbelief, ⁷ again God fixed a day. 'To-day,' he said, speaking after a long interval through the mouth of David, in the passage already quoted-- 'If to-day you hear God's voice harden not your hearts.' ⁸ Now if Joshua had given 'Rest' to the people, God would not have spoken of another and later day. ⁹ There is, then, a Sabbath-Rest still awaiting God's People.
