Hebrews 3

¹Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high-priest of our profession, Jesus;

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

³For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as greater than the house is he who built it.

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

⁵And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, that he might testify of those things which were to be spoken;

⁶but Christ as a son over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and joyousness of our hope.

⁷Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit saith: "To-day, if ye hear his voice,

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

⁹where your fathers tempted me by proving me, and saw my works forty years.

¹⁰Wherefore I was offended with that generation, and said, They always err in their heart, but they knew not my ways;

¹¹so I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest."

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

¹³But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you may be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

¹⁴For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast our first confidence firm to the end.

¹⁵When it is said, "To-day, if ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation,"

¹⁶who then, when they had heard, provoked? Was it not all who came out of Egypt by means of Moses?

¹⁷And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

¹⁸And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, except to those who were disobedient?

¹⁹So then 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.
