4:3. For we, who have believed, shall enter into rest; as he said: As I
have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest; and this
indeed when the works from the foundation of the world were finished.
4:4. For in a certain place he spoke of the seventh day thus: And God
rested the seventh day from all his works.
4:5. And in this place again: If they shall enter into my rest.
4:6. Seeing then it remaineth that some are to enter into it, and they
to whom it was first preached did not enter because of unbelief:
4:7. Again he limiteth a certain day, saying in David; To day, after so
