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 vocation, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, 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 made him, as was also Moses 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 was counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as he that hath built the house, hath greater honour than the house.

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

For every house is built by some man: but he that created 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, for a testimony of those things which were to be said:

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 the Son in his own house: which house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and glory of hope unto the end.

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

Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith: Today if you shall 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 provocation; in the day of temptation in the desert,

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

Where your fathers tempted me, proved and saw my works,

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

Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I said: They always err in 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!’”

As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall 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 perhaps there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart 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 every day, whilst it is called today, that none of you be hardened through 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 made partakers of Christ: yet so, if we hold the beginning of his substance firm unto 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, Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in that 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 who heard did provoke: but 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?

And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert?

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

And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous?

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

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