Verse 2
Hebrews 4:2
New Living Translation
2
For this good news — that God (Elohim) 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 (Elohim).
Original Language Text
greek
καὶ γάρ ἐσμεν εὐηγγελισμένοι καθάπερ κἀκεῖνοι, ἀλλ’ οὐκ ὠφέλησεν ὁ λόγος τῆς ἀκοῆς ἐκείνους, μὴ ⸀συγκεκερασμένους τῇ πίστει τοῖς ἀκούσασιν.
English Translation
For we also have had good news proclaimed to us just as they did, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because it was not united with faith in those who heard it.
