For this good news— that God has prepared this rest— has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn’t share the faith of those who listened to God.

因为有福音传给我们，像传给他们一样；只是所听见的道与他们无益，因为他们没有信心与所听见的道调和。

因为的确有福音传给我们像传给他们一样；只是所听见的道对他们无益，因为他们没有以信心与所听见的道配合。

因为的确有福音传给我们像传给他们一样；只是所听见的道对他们无益，因为他们没有以信心与所听见的道配合。

因为我们和他们一样听到了福音，只是他们听了道后没有凭信心领受，结果没有得到益处。

因为有福音传给我们，像传给他们一样，只是他们所听见的道，对他们没有益处，因为他们没有用信心与所听见的打成一片（“没有用信心与所听见的打成一片”，有古卷作“没有用信心与听从这道的人打成一片”）。

实际上，我们也是得以听到福音的，就像他们那样；但是他们所听的话语对他们没有益处，因为他们没有因着信，与所听的相配合。

因為有福音傳給我們，像傳給他們一樣；只是所聽見的道與他們無益，因為他們沒有信心與所聽見的道調和。

因為的確有福音傳給我們像傳給他們一樣；只是所聽見的道對他們無益，因為他們沒有以信心與所聽見的道配合。

因為的確有福音傳給我們像傳給他們一樣；只是所聽見的道對他們無益，因為他們沒有以信心與所聽見的道配合。

因為我們和他們一樣聽到了福音，只是他們聽了道後沒有憑信心領受，結果沒有得到益處。

因為有福音傳給我們，像傳給他們一樣，只是他們所聽見的道，對他們沒有益處，因為他們沒有用信心與所聽見的打成一片（“沒有用信心與所聽見的打成一片”，有古卷作“沒有用信心與聽從這道的人打成一片”）。

因為已有福音傳給我們，像傳給他們一樣。只是所聽之道、於他們無益，因為那道不在聽的人心裏跟信心打成一片。

實際上，我們也是得以聽到福音的，就像他們那樣；但是他們所聽的話語對他們沒有益處，因為他們沒有因著信，與所聽的相配合。

蓋福音宣於我儕、如於彼然、但所聞無益於彼、因聞之者不以信融洽之也、

蓋嘉音傳我、亦傳古人、然彼聞而不信、故聽之無益、

蓋福音傳於我儕、如傳於彼眾然、但所聞之道、於彼眾無益、因聞之者、不以信而融洽、

蓋慈音之達於我輩、宛如昔日達於先人。顧先人聞之、而未獲其益者、以其未能用信德融洽其所聞之道、而身體之耳。

For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed.

The good news was announced to our people of long ago. It has also been preached to us. The message they heard didn’t have any value for them. That’s because they didn’t share the faith of those who obeyed.

For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened.

For we also have received the good news just as they did. But the message they heard did not benefit them, since they were not united with those who heard it in faith.

For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also did; but the word they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united with those who listened with faith.

For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.

For we also have received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard did not benefit them, since they were not united with those who heard it in faith

For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard[ it].

For we had good news proclaimed to us just as they did. But the message they heard did them no good, since they did not join in with those who heard it in faith.

For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard didn’t profit them, because it wasn’t mixed with faith by those who heard.

Therefore, we never stop thanking God that when you received his message from us, you didn’t think of our words as mere human ideas. You accepted what we said as the very word of God— which, of course, it is. And this word continues to work in you who believe.

But not everyone welcomes the Good News, for Isaiah the prophet said,“ Lord, who has believed our message?”So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.

And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.

“ Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.”

For when we brought you the Good News, it was not only with words but also with power, for the Holy Spirit gave you full assurance that what we said was true. And you know of our concern for you from the way we lived when we were with you.

Surely you remember that I was sick when I first brought you the Good News.

Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God.

When God raised up his servant, Jesus, he sent him first to you people of Israel, to bless you by turning each of you back from your sinful ways.”

So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.

The Jewish ceremony of circumcision has value only if you obey God’s law. But if you don’t obey God’s law, you are no better off than an uncircumcised Gentile.

So God’s rest is there for people to enter, but those who first heard this good news failed to enter because they disobeyed God.

If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.

Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and declared,“ It was necessary that we first preach the word of God to you Jews. But since you have rejected it and judged yourselves unworthy of eternal life, we will offer it to the Gentiles.

And to whom was God speaking when he took an oath that they would never enter his rest? Wasn’t it the people who disobeyed him?So we see that because of their unbelief they were not able to enter his rest.

They were told that their messages were not for themselves, but for you. And now this Good News has been announced to you by those who preached in the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. It is all so wonderful that even the angels are eagerly watching these things happen.

Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth.As for us, we can’t help but thank God for you, dear brothers and sisters loved by the Lord. We are always thankful that God chose you to be among the first to experience salvation— a salvation that came through the Spirit who makes you holy and through your belief in the truth.

What’s more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would make the Gentiles right in his sight because of their faith. God proclaimed this good news to Abraham long ago when he said,“ All nations will be blessed through you.”
