Hebrews 3:15-19
Context3:15 As it says, 2 “Oh, that today you would listen as he speaks! 3 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” 4 3:16 For which ones heard and rebelled? Was it not all who came out of Egypt under Moses’ leadership? 5 3:17 And against whom was God 6 provoked for forty years? Was it not those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness? 7 3:18 And to whom did he swear they would never enter into his rest, except those who were disobedient? 3:19 So 8 we see that they could not enter because of unbelief.
