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, saying in David, after so long a time, Today, as it hath been before said, Today if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.
8. For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
9. There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God.
10. For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.
11. Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall after the same example of disobedience.
12. For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.
