1 Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it.

4 For he hath said somewhere of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;

5 and in this [place] again, They shall not enter into my rest.

6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,

7 he again defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before), To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.
