⁶ Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter therein, and they to whom the good news was before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,

¹⁸ To whom did he swear that they wouldn't enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

¹⁹ We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.

⁹ There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

² For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard didn't profit them, because it wasn't mixed with faith by those who heard.

⁸ The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you all the nations will be blessed."

²⁹ But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;

²⁸ "Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles. They will also listen."

⁴⁶ Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, "It was necessary that God's word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

²³ "The lord said to the servant, 'Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

²⁴ For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper.'"

⁴³ "Therefore I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation bringing forth its fruits.

¹⁵ You shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen; and the Lord Yahweh will kill you; and he will call his servants by another name:

³¹ But your little ones, that you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.

¹² I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.
