therefore
Here, the word Therefore introduces an exhortation that is based on everything that the author has said about the Israelite ancestors in 3:7–19. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an exhortation that is based on what has been said. Alternate translation: [Because what I have just said is true]

Alternate translation: [to enter into God’s resting place] or [to enter into the land of rest]

Alternate translation: [might think that you have failed to attain it] (3) God considers them to have failed. Alternate translation: [might be judged to have failed to attain it]
