[Hebrews 3](/study/hebrews/3) [Hebrews 5](/study/hebrews/5) ## Commentary To verse 1 The course of argument in this chapter, to verse [Hebrews 4:11](/kjv/hebrews/4/11) , is as follows: There is a rest promised to us, which we should be careful not to lose by our unbelief and disobedience, after the example of the ancient Israelites in the wilderness. This cannot be the rest upon which God entered after he had finished the works of creation, nor the rest which Joshua gave to Israel in Canaan, since long after both of these the Holy Ghost still speaks of a rest which he warns us, as he did the covenant people in David’s day, not to lose. **His rest** ; God’s rest provided for his people. **Should seem to come** **short of it** ; regarded by some as simply a softened way of saying, Should come short of it. Others render, Should appear-that is, at the last day-to have come short of it. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/edwards-family-bible-new-testament/hebrews/4#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","width":672,"height":448,"caption":"Real Bible Believers"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/edwards-family-bible-new-testament/hebrews/4#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/edwards-family-bible-new-testament/hebrews/4","name":"Hebrews 4 - Study King James Bible with edwards family bible new testament","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/edwards-family-bible-new-testament/hebrews/4#primaryimage"},"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Read Hebrews 4 with edwards family bible new testament commentary. 1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2 For unto us was the gospel","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/edwards-family-bible-new-testament/hebrews/4#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/edwards-family-bible-new-testament/hebrews/4"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/edwards-family-bible-new-testament/hebrews/4#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","name":"Home"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","name":"Study Bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/edwards-family-bible-new-testament","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/edwards-family-bible-new-testament","name":"edwards family bible new testament"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/edwards-family-bible-new-testament/hebrews","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/edwards-family-bible-new-testament/hebrews","name":"Hebrews"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/edwards-family-bible-new-testament/hebrews/4","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/edwards-family-bible-new-testament/hebrews/4","name":"4"}}]},{"@type":["Person","Organization"],"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","width":512,"height":512},"logo":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo"},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/RBiblebeliever","https://www.facebook.com/RBibleBelievers"]}]} ```
