004:005 and He has also declared, "They shall not be admitted to My rest."
004:006 Since, then, it is still true that some will be admitted to that rest, and that because of disobedience those who formerly had Good News proclaimed to them were not admitted,
004:007 He again definitely mentions a certain day, "To-day," saying long afterwards, by David's lips, in the words already quoted, "To-day, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts."
004:008 For if Joshua had given them the true rest, we should not
afterwards hear God speaking of another still future day.
004:009 It follows that there still remains a sabbath rest for the
people of God.
004:010 For He who has been admitted to His rest, has rested from His
works as God did from His.
004:011 Let it then be our earnest endeavour to be admitted to that rest, so that no one may perish through following the same example of unbelief.
004:012 For God's Message is full of life and power, and is keener than the sharpest two-edged sword. It pierces even to the severance of soul from spirit, and penetrates between the joints and the marrow, and it can discern the secret thoughts and purposes of the heart.
004:013 And no created thing is able to escape its scrutiny;
but everything lies bare and completely exposed before the eyes
of Him with whom we have to do.
004:014 Inasmuch, then, as we have in Jesus, the Son of God,
a great High Priest who has passed into Heaven itself,
let us hold firmly to our profession of faith.
