3For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, "As I swore in my wrath, They will not enter into my rest;" although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4For he has said somewhere about the seventh day like this, "God rested on the seventh day from all his works;"

5and in this place again, "They will not enter into my rest."
