Hebrews 3

¹Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heauenly vocation, consider the Apostle and high Priest of our profession Christ Iesus:

²Who was faithfull to him that hath appointed him, euen as Moses was in al his house.

³For this man is counted worthy of more glory then Moses, inasmuch as he which hath builded the house, hath more honour then the house.

⁴For euery house is builded of some man, and he that hath built all things, is God.

⁵Now Moses verely was faithfull in all his house, as a seruant, for a witnesse of the thinges which should be spoken after.

⁶But Christ is as the Sonne, ouer his owne house, whose house we are, if we holde fast that confidence and that reioycing of that hope vnto the ende.

⁷Wherefore, as the holy Ghost sayth, To day if ye shall heare his voyce,

⁸Harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation, according to the day of the tentation in the wildernes,

⁹Where your fathers tempted me, prooued me, and sawe my workes fourtie yeeres long.

¹⁰Wherefore I was grieued with that generation, and sayde, They erre euer in their heart, neither haue they knowen my wayes.

¹¹Therefore I sware in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.

¹²Take heede, brethren, least at any time there be in any of you an euill heart, and vnfaithfull, to depart away from the liuing God.

¹³But exhort one another dayly, while it is called to day, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulnes of sinne.

¹⁴For we are made partakers of Christ, if we keepe sure vnto the ende that beginning, wherewith we are vpholden,

¹⁵So long as it is sayd, To day if ye heare his voyce, harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation.

¹⁶For some when they heard, prouoked him to anger: howbeit, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

¹⁷But with whome was he displeased fourtie yeeres? Was hee not displeased with them that sinned, whose carkeises fell in the wildernes?

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

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

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.
