Hebrews 3:18

James Moffatt - New Testament

And to whom did he swear that they would never enter his Rest? To whom but those who disobeyed?

See the chapter Copy

Since then it is reserved for some to enter it, and since those who formerly got the good news failed to enter owing to their disobedience,

For we have had the good news as well as they; only, the message they heard was of no use to them, because it did not meet with faith in the hearers.

so I swore in my anger, 'they shall never enter my Rest.'

He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life — God's anger broods over him."

Once you disobeyed God, and now you enjoy his mercy thanks to their disobedience; in the same way they at present are disobedient,

Let us be eager then to enter that Rest, in case anyone falls into the same sort of disobedience.
