6  "Seeing  therefore  it  remaineth  that  some  should  enter

so  long  a  time,  To-day,  as  it  hath  been  before  said,

(8)  "For  if  ^Joshua  had  given  them  rest,  he  would  not  have

(lo) therefore  a  sabbath  rest  for  the  people  of  God.  "For
he  that  is  entered  into  his  rest  hath  himself  also  rested

give  diligence  to  enter  into  that  rest,  that  no  man  fall

of  God  is  living,  and  active,  and  sharper  than  any  two-
edged  sword,  and  piercing  even  to  the  dividing  of  soul
and  spirit,  of  both  joints  and  marrow,  and  quick  to  discern

creature  that  is  not  manifest  in  his  sight :  but  all  things
are  naked  and  laid  open  before  the  eyes  of  him  with
whom  we  have  to  do.
