First Reading: Hebrews 4:1-5, 11

¹ Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest remains, let us fear lest any of you be judged to have failed to reach it.
² For good news came to us just as to them; but the message which they heard did not benefit them, because it did not meet with faith in the hearers.
³ For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, `They shall never enter my rest, ‘”although his works were finished from the foundation of the world.
⁴ For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way, “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.”
⁵ And again in this place he said, “They shall never enter my rest.”
¹¹ Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, that no one fall by the same sort of disobedience.
