Hebrews 4:1-4
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
1Therefore, we must fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it. 2For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also did; but the word they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united with those who listened with faith.
3For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, 'AS I SWORE IN MY ANGER, THEY CERTAINLY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST,' although His works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For He has said somewhere concerning the seventh day: 'AND God RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORKS';
King James Version
Chapter 4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 4
1Therefore, since the promise to enter his rest remains, let us beware that none of you be found to have fallen short. 2For we also have received the good news just as they did. But the message they heard did not benefit them, since they were not united with those who heard it in faith.
3For we who have believed enter the rest, in keeping with what he has said,So I swore in my anger,"They will not enter my rest," even though his works have been finished since the foundation of the world.
4For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in this way: And on the seventh day God rested from all his works.
New Living Translation
Chapter 4
1God’s promise of entering his rest still stands, so we ought to tremble with fear that some of you might fail to experience it. 2For this good news — that God has prepared this rest — has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn’t share the faith of those who listened to God.
3For only we who believe can enter his rest. As for the others, God said, 'In my anger I took an oath: ‘They will never enter my place of rest,’' even though this rest has been ready since he made the world.
4We know it is ready because of the place in the Scriptures where it mentions the seventh day: 'On the seventh day God rested from all his work.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 4
1Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. 2For 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. 3For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest,’” although his works were finished from the foundation of the world.New International Version
Chapter 4
1Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. 2For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed.
3Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, 'So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They shall never enter my rest.'' And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world.
4For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: 'On the seventh day God rested from all his works.'
New King James Version
Chapter 4
1Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. 2For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.
3For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: “So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest,’ ” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”;
