(12)Take heed, brethren, lest there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. (13)But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called To-day, that no one of you may be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. (14)For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end. (15)When it is said: To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts as in the provocation; (16)who then, when they had heard, provoked? Nay, was it not all who came forth out of Egypt by Moses? (17)But with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with those who sinned? whose carcasses fell in the wilderness. (18)And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who believed not? (19)And we see that they were not able to enter in, because of unbelief. IV. LET us fear therefore, lest, a promise being still left us of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. (2)For to us were the glad tidings preached, as also to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mingled with faith in those who heard. (3)For we who believed enter into the rest, as he said: As I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest, although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. (4)For he has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day thus: And God rested on the seventh day from all his works; (5)and in this again: They shall not enter into my rest. (6)Since then it remains that some do enter into it, and they to whom the glad tidings were first preached entered not in because of unbelief, again (7)he limits a certain day, To-day, (saying in David, after so long a time, as has before been said,) To-day, if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts. (8)For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not, after this, have spoken of another day. (9)So then, there remains a Sabbath-rest to the people of God. (10)For he that entered into his rest, himself rested from his works, as God did from his own. (11)Let us therefore endeavor to enter into that rest, that no one may fall into the same example of unbelief. (12)For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (13)And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight; but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
