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.

¹Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

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

³For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.

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

⁵And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

⁶But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

⁷Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

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

⁹When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

¹⁰Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

¹¹So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

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

¹³But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

¹⁴For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

¹⁵While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

¹⁶For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

¹⁷But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

¹⁸And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

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