5 This same matter is spoken of again: “They will never enter that land where I would have given them rest.”
6 Those who first heard the Good News did not receive that rest, because they did not believe. There are, then, others who are allowed to receive it.
7 This is shown by the fact that God sets another day, which is called “Today.” Many years later he spoke of it through David in the scripture already quoted:“If you hear God's voice today,do not be stubborn.”
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.
