Hebrews 4:1-8

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 God's promise that we may enter his place of rest still stands. We are afraid that some of you think you won't enter his place of rest.

2 We have heard the same Good News that your ancestors heard. But the message didn't help those who heard it in the past because they didn't believe.

3 We who believe are entering that place of rest. As God said, "So I angrily took a solemn oath that they would never enter my place of rest." God said this even though he had finished his work when he created the world.

4 Somewhere in Scripture God has said this about the seventh day: "On the seventh day God rested from all his work."

5 God also said in the same passage, "They will never enter my place of rest."

6 However, some people enter that place of rest. Those who heard the Good News in the past did not enter God's place of rest because they did not obey God.

7 So God set another day. That day is today. Many years after [your ancestors failed to enter that place of rest] God spoke about it through David in the passage already quoted: "If you hear God speak today, don't be stubborn."

8 If Joshua had given the people rest, God would not have spoken about another day.

New International Version NIV

1 Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it.

2 For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed.

3 Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, “So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ”And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world.

4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”

5 And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”

6 Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience,

7 God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
