# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Chapter 4 continues the warning to believers starting in [Hebrews 3:7](../03/07.md).
|
|
|
|
# Therefore
|
|
|
|
"Because what I have just said is true" or "Since God will certainly punish those who do not obey"
|
|
|
|
# let us fear
|
|
|
|
This is probably a hyperbole that refers to being very careful. Alternate translation: "we must be very careful" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole]])

# entering his rest
|
|
|
|
The peace and security provided by God are spoken of as if they were rest that he can give, and as if they were a place to which people could go. Alternate translation: "to enter the place of rest" or "to experience God's blessings of rest" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

|
# none of you may seem to have fallen short of it
|
|
|
|
God's promise is spoken of as if it were a place to which people were trying to go. Alternate translation: "none of you fail to enter into God's rest, which he promised to us" or "God allows you all to enter into his rest as he promised us" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
