Hebrews 4:1-3
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
The Rest That God Promised
4 Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest is still open, let us take care that none of you should seem to have failed to reach it. 2 For indeed the good news came to us just as to them; but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened.[a] 3 For we who have believed enter that rest, just as God[b] has said,
‘As in my anger I swore,
“They shall not enter my rest”’,
though his works were finished at the foundation of the world.
