And let us take thought of how to spur one another on to love and good works, ¹ 

For he has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,” ¹ 

For the one who enters God’s ¹  rest has also rested from his works, just as God did from his own works.

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.

Therefore we must progress beyond ¹  the elementary ²  instructions about Christ ³  and move on ⁴  to maturity, not laying this foundation again: repentance from dead works and faith in God,

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our ¹  consciences from dead works to worship the living God.
