Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

The gold bar shows how strongly the cross-reference sources tie the two verses together: a long bar means many compiled references make the connection, a short one means few.

Matthew 11:28Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.2 Corinthians 13:5Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Can’t you see for yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you—unless you actually fail the test?Philippians 2:12Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.2 Corinthians 7:1Therefore, beloved, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that defiles body and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.Hebrews 12:15See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness springs up to cause trouble and defile many.Hebrews 4:9There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God.Proverbs 28:14Blessed is the man who is always reverent, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble.Hebrews 4:11Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.1 Corinthians 9:26–27Therefore I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating the air.1 Corinthians 10:12So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.Hebrews 13:7Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.Hebrews 4:3–5Now we who have believed enter that rest. As for the others, it is just as God has said: “So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’” And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world.Romans 11:20That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.Acts 5:11And great fear came over the whole church and all who heard about these events.Numbers 14:34In keeping with the forty days you spied out the land, you shall bear your guilt forty years—a year for each day—and you will experience My alienation.Romans 3:23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,2 Timothy 2:13if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.Hebrews 2:1–3We must pay closer attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.
