Hebrews 3

1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of [the] heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus,

Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;

2 who is faithful to him that has constituted him, as Moses also in all his house.

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

3 For he has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by how much he that has built it has more honour than the house.

For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, just as he who built the house has more honor than the house.

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

For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.

5 And Moses indeed [was] faithful in all his house, as a ministering servant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken after;

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 Son over his house, whose house are we, if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.

but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house; whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope.

7 Wherefore, even as says the Holy Spirit, To-day if ye will hear his voice,

Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will hear his voice,

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

do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

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

where your fathers tested me and challenged me, and saw my works for forty years.

10 Wherefore I was wroth with this generation, and said, They always err in heart; and they have not known my ways;

Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and said, 'They always err in their heart, but they did not know my ways;'

11 so I swore in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.

as I swore in my wrath, 'They will not enter into my rest.'"

12 See, brethren, lest there be in any one of you a wicked heart of unbelief, in turning away from [the] living God.

Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;

13 But encourage yourselves each day, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

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 are become companions of the Christ if indeed we hold the beginning of the assurance firm to the end;

For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:

15 in that it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation;

while it is said, "Today if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion."

16 (for who was it, who, having heard, provoked? but [was it] not all who came out of Egypt by Moses?

For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, did not all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?

17 And with whom was he wroth forty years? [Was it] not with those who had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

With whom was he displeased forty years? Was not it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who had not hearkened to the word?

To whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

19 And we see that they could not enter in on account of unbelief; )

We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
