Hebrews 4:3 
Context| NET © | For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, “As I swore in my anger, ‘They will never enter my rest!’” 1 And yet God’s works 2 were accomplished from the foundation of the world. |
| NIV © | Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, "So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’" And yet his work has been finished since the creation of the world. |
| NASB © | For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, "AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST," although His works were finished from the foundation of the world. |
| NLT © | For only we who believe can enter his place of rest. As for those who didn’t believe, God said, "In my anger I made a vow: ‘They will never enter my place of rest,’" even though his place of rest has been ready since he made the world. |
| MSG © | If we believe, though, we'll experience that state of resting. But not if we don't have faith. Remember that God said, Exasperated, I vowed, "They'll never get where they're going, never be able to sit down and rest." God made that vow, even though he'd finished his part before the foundation of the world. |
| BBE © | For those of us who have belief come into his rest; even as he has said, As I said in my oath when I was angry, They may not come into my rest: though the works were done from the time of the making of the world. |
| NRSV © | For we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, "As in my anger I swore, ‘They shall not enter my rest,’" though his works were finished at the foundation of the world. |
| NKJV © | For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: "So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest,’" although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. |
