3:1 |
Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly call, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.
|
3:2 |
He was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in God's house.
|
3:3 |
Yet Jesus has been counted worthy of as much more glory than Moses as the builder of a house has more honor than the house.
|
3:4 |
(For every house is built by some one, but the builder of all things is God.)
|
3:5 |
Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later,
|
3:6 |
but Christ was faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house if we hold fast our confidence and pride in ourhope.
|
3:7 |
Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, 'Today, when you hear his voice,
|
3:8 |
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness,
|
3:9 |
where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years.
|
3:10 |
Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, They always go astray in their hearts;they have not known my ways.'
|
3:11 |
As I swore in my wrath, They shall never enter my rest.''
|
3:12 |
Take care, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.
|
3:13 |
But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called 'today,' that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
|
3:14 |
For we share in Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end,
|
3:15 |
while it is said, 'Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.'
|
3:16 |
Who were they that heard and yet were rebellious? Was it not all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses?
|
3:17 |
And with whom was he provoked forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
|
3:18 |
And to whom did he swear that they should never enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
|
3:19 |
So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
