Us therefore

See to it that no one falls short of God’s grace; that no root of resentment springs up and causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;

A wise man suspects danger and cautiously avoids evil,
But the fool is arrogant and careless.

Blessed and favored by God is the man who fears [sin and its consequence] at all times,
But he who hardens his heart [and is determined to sin] will fall into disaster.

Therefore let the one who thinks he stands firm [immune to temptation, being overconfident and self-righteous], take care that he does not fall [into sin and condemnation].

A promise

So there remains a [full and complete] Sabbath rest for the people of God.

What then? If some did not believe or were unfaithful [to God], their lack of belief will not nullify and make invalid the faithfulness of God and His word, will it?

If we are faithless, He remains faithful [true to His word and His righteous character], for He cannot deny Himself.

His

So I swore [an oath] in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest [the promised land].’”

Any

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.

But if that servant is evil and says in his heart, ‘My master is taking his time [he will not return for a long while],’

“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.

But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My master is taking his time in coming,’ and begins to beat the servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk,

since all have sinned and continually fall short of the glory of God,

Therefore I do not run without a definite goal; I do not flail around like one beating the air [just shadow boxing].

General references

But many who are first [in this world] will be last [in the world to come]; and the last, first.

And great fear and awe gripped the whole church, and all who heard about these things.
