< Hebrews 3 >

1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Whence, holy brethren, partners, in a heavenly calling, attentively consider the Apostle and High—priest of our confession—Jesus
2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses [was faithful] in all his house.
As one, faithful, to him who made him: as, Moses also, in [all] his house.
3 For this [man] was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
For, of more glory than Moses, hath, this one been counted worthy—by as much as more honour than, the house, hath, he that prepared it;
4 For every house is builded by some [man]; but he that built all things [is] God.
For, every house, is prepared by someone, —but, he that hath prepared all things, is, God.
5 And Moses verily [was] faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
Even Moses, indeed, was faithful in all his house, as an attendant, for a witness of the things which were to be spoken;
6 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.
But, Christ, as, a Son, over his house, —whose house are, we, —if, the freedom of speech and boast of the hope, [throughout, firm, ] we hold fast.
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
Wherefore, —according as saith the Holy Spirit—To-day, if, unto his voice ye would hearken, do not
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
harden your hearts, —as in the embitterment, in the day of testing in the desert,
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
When your fathers tested by proving, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in [their] heart; and they have not known my ways.
Wherefore I was sore vexed with this generation, and said, Always err they in their heart; —howbeit, they, learned not my ways:
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
So I sware in mine anger—they shall not enter into my rest!—
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
Be taking heed, brethren, lest at any time, there shall be in any one of you, a wicked heart of unbelief, in revolting from a Living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
But be exhorting one another, on each successive day, —while the To-day is being named! lest any from among you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
For, partners of the Christ, have we become, —if, at least, the beginning of the confidence, throughout, firm, we hold fast:
15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
So long as it is said—To-day, if, unto his voice, ye would hearken, do not harden your hearts, —as in the embitterment.
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
For, who, though they heard, caused embitterment? Nay, indeed! did not all who come forth out of Egypt through Moses?
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? [was it] not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
But, with whom, was be sore vexed forty years? Was it not with them who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the desert?
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
But, unto whom, sware he, that they should not enter into his rest, —save unto them who were obstinate?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
And we see, that they were not able to enter, because of unbelief.
