Hebrews 4:1 Context
1Let vs therefore feare, lest a promise being left vs, of entring into his rest, any of you should seeme to come short of it. 2For vnto vs was the Gospel preached, as well as vnto thē: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3For we which haue beleeued do enter into rest, as hee said, As I haue sworne in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest, although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
