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.
