Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear so that none of you should show evidence of falling short.

And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end,

Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many entering in through it.

And from the days of John the Immerser until now the kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able.

The Law and the Prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it.

Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, cultivate your salvation with fear and trembling;

Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make sure of your calling and election, for if you do these things you will not ever stumble;

for so an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you.

Beware, brethren, that there not be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in withdrawing from the living God;

And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?

So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the Heavenly vision,

For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,

For God has enclosed everyone in disobedience, that He might have mercy on each one.

in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,

Let no one beguile you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience;

They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and reprobate with regard to every good work.

For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, led astray, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.
