Hebrews 4:11

4:11 Thus we must make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.

Hebrews 11:17

11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac. He had received the promises, ¹  yet he was ready to offer up ²  his only son.

Hebrews 11:28

11:28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, ³  so that the one who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them.

¹ tn Here “received the promises” refers to the pledges themselves, not to the things God promised.

² tn Grk “he was offering up.” The tense of this verb indicates the attempt or readiness to sacrifice Isaac without the actual completion of the deed.

¹ tn Grk “the pouring out of the blood.”
