3 We who have believed are able to enter and have God’s rest. As God has said,“I was angry and made a promise,‘They will never enter my rest.’ ”But God’s work was finished from the time he made the world.
4 In the Scriptures he talked about the seventh day of the week: “And on the seventh day God rested from all his works.”
5 And again in the Scripture God said, “They will never enter my rest.”
6 It is still true that some people will enter God’s rest, but those who first heard the way to be saved did not enter, because they did not obey.
7 So God planned another day, called “today.” He spoke about that day through David a long time later in the same Scripture used before:“Today listen to what he says.Do not be stubborn.”
8 We know that Joshua did not lead the people into that rest, because God spoke later about another day.
9 This shows that the rest for God’s people is still coming.
