8. If Joshua had given the people the rest that God had promised, God would not have spoken later about another day.
9. As it is, however, there still remains for God's people a rest like God's resting on the seventh day.
10. For those who receive that rest which God promised will rest from their own work, just as God rested from his.
11. Let us, then, do our best to receive that rest, so that no one of us will fail as they did because of their lack of faith.
12. The word of God is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword. It cuts all the way through, to where soul and spirit meet, to where joints and marrow come together. It judges the desires and thoughts of the heart.
13. There is nothing that can be hidden from God; everything in all creation is exposed and lies open before his eyes. And it is to him that we must all give an account of ourselves.
