English Standard Version
Hebrews 4:2-4
English Standard Version
2 For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because (A)they were not united by faith with those who listened.[a] 3 For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said,
(B)“As I swore in my wrath,
‘They shall not enter my rest,’”
although his works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: (C)“And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.”

New International Version
2 For 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.[a](A) 3 Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,
And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world. 4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”[c](C)
