Hebrews 3

1 So then, holy brothers, you who share in the celestial calling, do contemplate the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus Christ!

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,

2 who was faithful to the One who appointed Him, as also was Moses in all His[F] house.

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

3 For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than was Moses, just as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself

For this man is counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has builded the house, has more honor than the house.

4 —every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God—

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

5 also, Moses was indeed faithful as a servant in all His house, providing evidence of those things that would later be spoken,

And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, to bear testimony to those things which were to be spoken afterward;

6 but Christ is faithful as a Son over His house, whose house are we, if, that is, we hold fast the confidence, even the boast, of the Hope firm to the end.

but Christ, as a Son over his own house; whose house we are, if we hold the confidence and the joy of our hope firm to the end.

7 Therefore—just as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you would hear His voice,

Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit says: To-day, if you will hear his voice,

8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, during the time of the testing in the desert,

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

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

where your fathers tried me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

10 In consequence I became very angry with that generation and said, ‘Their heart always leads them astray; they have not known my ways.’

Where fore, I was angry with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

11 So I took an oath in my wrath, ‘As if they will ever enter my rest!’”

so that I swore in my anger, They shall not enter into my rest.

12 —take care, brothers, that there not be a malignant heart of unbelief in any of you, so as to go away from the living God;

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

13 rather, exhort yourselves every day, while it is called ‘today’, so that none of you be hardened through sin's deceitfulness.

But exhort one another daily, while it is called To-day, lest any of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

14 For we have become associates of the Christ, if, that is, we hold fast the beginning of the Endeavor firm to the end,

For we are partakers of the Christ, if we hold our begun confidence firm to the end;

15 while it is still being said, “Today, if you would hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

while it is said, To-day, if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the bitter provocation.

16 So who were they who, upon hearing, rebelled? Really now, was it not all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?

For some, when they had heard, did bitterly provoke; yet, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

17 And with whom was He[F] angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the desert?

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

18 Or to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, if not to those who disobeyed?

But to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who believed not?

19 So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.

And so we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
