So God’s rest is there for people to enter, but those who first heard this good news failed to enter because they disobeyed God.

既有必进安息的人，那先前听见福音的，因为不信从，不得进去。

既有这安息保留着让一些人进入，那些先前听见福音的人，因不信从而不得进去，

既有这安息保留着让一些人进入，那些先前听见福音的人，因不信从而不得进去，

既然最终会有人进入安息，而那些从前听过福音的人因为不信没能进去，

既然这安息还留着要让一些人进去，但那些以前听过福音的人，因为不顺从不得进去；

所以，既然这安息为了一些进入它的人被保留下来，可是由于那些原先得以听到福音的人，因着不信从而没有进去，

既有必進安息的人，那先前聽見福音的，因為不信從，不得進去。

既有這安息保留着讓一些人進入，那些先前聽見福音的人，因不信從而不得進去，

既有這安息保留着讓一些人進入，那些先前聽見福音的人，因不信從而不得進去，

既然最終會有人進入安息，而那些從前聽過福音的人因為不信沒能進去，

既然這安息還留著要讓一些人進去，但那些以前聽過福音的人，因為不順從不得進去；

那麼這安息既保留着要給一部分人進入，而先前得聽福音傳給他們的人又因不信、而沒有進入，

所以，既然這安息為了一些進入它的人被保留下來，可是由於那些原先得以聽到福音的人，因著不信從而沒有進去，

既有宜入之人、而先聞福音者、因不順故不入、

然安息終必有人享之、而先聞嘉音者不信故不得享、

如是、必別有得享安息者、但先聞福音者、因不信故、而不得享、

可見後來者必有得入者焉。彼先聞慈音者之不得入、徒以執迷不悟故耳。

Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience,

It is still true that some people will enjoy this rest. But those who had the good news announced to them earlier didn’t go in. That’s because they didn’t obey.

Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience,

Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news did not enter because of disobedience,

Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who previously had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience,

Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience,

Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,

Since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news did not enter because of disobedience,

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

Therefore it remains for some to enter it, yet those to whom it was previously proclaimed did not enter because of disobedience.

Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter into it, and they to whom the good news was preached before failed to enter in because of disobedience,

I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation that will produce the proper fruit.

And to whom was God speaking when he took an oath that they would never enter his rest? Wasn’t it the people who disobeyed him?So we see that because of their unbelief they were not able to enter his rest.

“‘ You said your children would be carried off as plunder. Well, I will bring them safely into the land, and they will enjoy what you have despised.

Your name will be a curse word among my people, for the Sovereign Lord will destroy you and will call his true servants by another name.

Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and declared,“ It was necessary that we first preach the word of God to you Jews. But since you have rejected it and judged yourselves unworthy of eternal life, we will offer it to the Gentiles.For the Lord gave us this command when he said,‘ I have made you a light to the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the farthest corners of the earth.’”

Now go out to the street corners and invite everyone you see.’So the servants brought in everyone they could find, good and bad alike, and the banquet hall was filled with guests.

For this good news— that God has prepared this rest— has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn’t share the faith of those who listened to God.

I will disown them and destroy them with a plague. Then I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are!”

What’s more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would make the Gentiles right in his sight because of their faith. God proclaimed this good news to Abraham long ago when he said,“ All nations will be blessed through you.”

So I want you to know that this salvation from God has also been offered to the Gentiles, and they will accept it.”

“ The servant returned and told his master what they had said. His master was furious and said,‘ Go quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and invite the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’After the servant had done this, he reported,‘ There is still room for more.’So his master said,‘ Go out into the country lanes and behind the hedges and urge anyone you find to come, so that the house will be full.For none of those I first invited will get even the smallest taste of my banquet.’”

So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God.

But let me say this, dear brothers and sisters: The time that remains is very short. So from now on, those with wives should not focus only on their marriage.
