The Sabbath Rest
Genesis 2:1–3; Exodus 16:22–30
1Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it.+ 2For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.+ 3For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.+ 4For he hath said somewhere of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;+ 5and in this [place] again, They shall not enter into my rest.+ 6Seeing 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,+ 7he again defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward ( even as hath been said before), To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.+ 8For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.+ 9There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God.+ 10For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.+ 11Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall after the same example of disobedience.+
