Hebrews 4:1 in context

The verses around it, from Hebrews 4.

1 Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be deemed to have fallen short of it.

2 For we also received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, since they did not share the faith of those who comprehended it.

3 Now we who have believed enter that rest. As for the others, it is just as God has said: “So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’” And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world.

4 For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this manner: “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works.”

5 And again, as He says in the passage above: “They shall never enter My rest.”
