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 a heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high-priest of our profession, Jesus;

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

who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was 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 he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as greater than the house is he who built it.

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 who 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, that he might testify of those things which were to be spoken;

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 house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and joyousness of our hope.

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

Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit saith: “To-day, if ye 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 the temptation in the wilderness,

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

where your fathers tempted me by proving 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.’

Wherefore I was offended with that generation, and said, They always err in their heart, but they knew not my ways;

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

so I swore in my wrath, 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 one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing 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, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you may 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 have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast our first 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.”

When it is said, “To-day, if ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation,”

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

who then, when they had heard, provoked? Was it not all who came out of Egypt by means of 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 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?

And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, except to those who were disobedient?

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

So then we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
