Hebrews 4:2-4
New Testament for Everyone
2 For we certainly had the good news announced to us, just as they did; but the word which they heard didn’t do them any good, because they were not united in faith with those who heard it. 3 For it is we who believe who enter into the rest; as it has been said,
As I swore in my anger,
they will never enter my rest
—even though God’s works had been complete since the foundation of the world. 4 For it says this somewhere about the seventh day,
And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,

Hebrews 4:2-4
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)
