| Chapter 3 |
1 |
Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus; |
2 |
who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house. |
3 |
For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he who built the house has more honor than the house. |
4 |
For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God. |
5 |
Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken, |
6 |
but Christ as a Son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm to the end. |
7 |
Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will hear his voice, |
8 |
Don`t harden your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness, |
9 |
Where your fathers tested me by proving me, And saw my works for forty years. |
10 |
Therefore I was displeased with that generation, And said, `They always err in their heart, But they didn`t know my ways;` |
11 |
As I swore in my wrath, `They will not enter into my rest.`" |
12 |
Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there will be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God; |
13 |
but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called "today;" lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. |
14 |
For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end: |
15 |
while it is said, "Today if you will hear his voice, Don`t harden your hearts, as in the provocation." |
16 |
For who, when they heard, did provoke? No, didn`t all those who came out of Egypt by Moses? |
17 |
With whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? |
18 |
To whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient? |
19 |
We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief. |
