Bible Comments

The rest remaining to the people of God:

Hebrews 4:4-10

4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

8 For if Jesusb had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

9 There remaineth therefore a restc to the people of God.

10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
