< Hebrews 3 >
1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heauenly vocation, consider the Apostle and high Priest of our profession Christ Iesus:
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2 Who was faithfull to him that hath appointed him, euen as Moses was in al his house.
Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3 For this man is counted worthy of more glory then Moses, inasmuch as he which hath builded the house, hath more honour then the house.
For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built the house has more honour than the house.
4 For euery house is builded of some man, and he that hath built all things, is God.
For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is God.
5 Now Moses verely was faithfull in all his house, as a seruant, for a witnesse of the thinges which should be spoken after.
And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
6 But Christ is as the Sonne, ouer his owne house, whose house we are, if we holde fast that confidence and that reioycing of that hope vnto the ende.
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
7 Wherefore, as the holy Ghost sayth, To day if ye shall heare his voyce,
Wherefore (as the Holy Spirit (pneuma) says, To day if all of you will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation, according to the day of the tentation in the wildernes,
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 Where your fathers tempted me, prooued me, and sawe my workes fourtie yeeres long.
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieued with that generation, and sayde, They erre euer in their heart, neither haue they knowen my wayes.
Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always go astray in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11 Therefore I sware in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.
So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Take heede, brethren, least at any time there be in any of you an euill heart, and vnfaithfull, to depart away from the liuing God.
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But exhort one another dayly, while it is called to day, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulnes of sinne.
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we keepe sure vnto the ende that beginning, wherewith we are vpholden,
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end;
15 So long as it is sayd, To day if ye heare his voyce, harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation.
While it is said, To day if all of you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For some when they heard, prouoked him to anger: howbeit, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
For some, when they had heard, did provoke: nevertheless not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whome was he displeased fourtie yeeres? Was hee not displeased with them that sinned, whose carkeises fell in the wildernes?
But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but vnto them that obeyed not?
And to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19 So we see that they could not enter in, because of vnbeliefe.
So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
