Hebrews 3

¹Therefore, holy brothers, sharers in the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus.

²He is faithful to the One who made him, just as Moses also was, with his entire house.

³For this Jesus was considered worthy of greater glory than Moses, so much so that the house which he has built holds a greater honor than the former one.

⁴For every house is built by someone, but God is the One who has created all things.

⁵And certainly Moses was faithful, with his entire house, like any servant, as a testimony to those things that would soon be said.

⁶Yet truly, Christ is like a Son in his own house. We are that house, if we firmly retain the faithfulness and the glory of hope, even unto the end.

⁷Because of this, it is just as the Holy Spirit says: “If today you hear his voice,

⁸harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, the very day of temptation, in the desert,

⁹where your fathers tested me, even though they had seen and examined my works for forty years.

¹⁰For this reason, I was enraged against this generation, and I said: They always wander astray in heart. For they have not known my ways.

¹¹So it is as I swore in my wrath: They shall not enter into my rest!”

¹²Be cautious, brothers, lest perhaps there may be, in any of you, an evil heart of unbelief, turning aside from the living God.

¹³Instead, exhort one another every day, while it is still called ‘today,’ so that none of you may become hardened through the falseness of sin.

¹⁴For we have been made participants in Christ. This is only so, if we firmly retain the beginning of his substance, even unto the end.

¹⁵For it has been said: “If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts, in the same manner as in the former provocation.”

¹⁶For some of those listening did provoke him. But not all of these had set forth from Egypt through Moses.

¹⁷So against whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not those who had sinned, whose dead bodies lay prostrate in the desert?

¹⁸But to whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, except to those who were incredulous?

¹⁹And so, we perceive that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.

Hebrews 3

¹Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus:

²Who is faithful to him that made him, as was also Moses in all his house.

³For this man was counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as he that hath built the house hath greater honour than the house.

⁴For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things is God.

⁵And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be said:

⁶But Christ, as the Son in his own house: which house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and glory of hope unto the end.

⁷Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith: To-day if you shall hear his voice,

⁸Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the desert,

⁹Where your fathers tempted me, proved and saw my works,

¹⁰Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I said: They always err in heart. And they have not known my ways.

¹¹As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest.

¹²Take heed, brethren, lest perhaps there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God.

¹³But exhort one another every day, whilst it is called to day, that none of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

¹⁴For we are made partakers of Christ: yet so, if we hold the beginning of his substance firm unto the end.

¹⁵While it is said: To day, if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in that provocation.

¹⁶For some who heard did provoke: but not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

¹⁷And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert?

¹⁸And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous?

¹⁹And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.
