Hebrews 4:5

“And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.”

For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Sabbath as Spiritual Rest

The verse itself does not explicitly mention "Sabbath" or "Christ," only "my rest." While the broader context of Hebrews 3-4 discusses a "rest" that is linked to the Sabbath and God's rest after creation, this single verse, taken at face value, does not directly equate "my rest" with "Sabbath as spiritual rest in Christ."
