3:1 |
Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession.
|
3:2 |
He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house.
|
3:3 |
For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house.
|
3:4 |
For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.
|
3:5 |
Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later;
|
3:6 |
but Christ [was faithful] as a Son over His house whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.
|
3:7 |
Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you hear His voice,
|
3:8 |
Do not harden your hearts as when they provoked Me, As in the day of trial in the wilderness,
|
3:9 |
Where your fathers tried [Me] by testing [Me], And saw My works for forty years.
|
3:10 |
"Therefore I was angry with this generation, And said, 'They always go astray in their heart; And they did not know My ways';
|
3:11 |
As I swore in My wrath, 'They shall not enter My rest.'"
|
3:12 |
Take care, brethren, lest there should be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart, in falling away from the living God.
|
3:13 |
But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is [still] called "Today," lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
|
3:14 |
For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end;
|
3:15 |
while it is said, "Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts, as when they provoked Me."
|
3:16 |
For who provoked [Him] when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt [led] by Moses?
|
3:17 |
And with whom was He angry for 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 not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient?
|
3:19 |
And [so] we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
