Hebrews 4:9

Read in context

Hebrews 4:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.

9 There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

10 For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His.

11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.
