Hebrews 3

1 For this reason, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and Chief Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

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

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

3 For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who builds it has more honor than 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 every house is built by someone, and He who built all things [is] God,

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

5 and Moses [was] indeed steadfast in all His house, as an attendant, for a testimony of those things that were to be spoken—

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, as a Son over His house, whose house we are, if we hold fast the boldness and the rejoicing of the hope to the end.

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 For this reason, as the Holy Spirit says, “Today, if you may hear His voice—

Wherefore (as the Holy Spirit (pneuma) says, To day if all of you will hear his voice,

8 you may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of the temptation in the wilderness,

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

9 in which your fathers tempted Me; they proved Me, and saw My works [for] forty years;

When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

10 for this reason I was grieved with that generation and said, They always go astray in [their] heart, and these have not known My ways;

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 so I swore in My anger, They will [not] enter into My rest.”

So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

12 Watch out, brothers, lest there will be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living 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 every day, while [it] is called “Today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin,

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 have become partakers of the Christ, if we may hold fast the confidence [we had] at the beginning to the end,

For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end;

15 as it is said, “Today, if you may hear His voice, you may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation.”

While it is said, To day if all of you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

16 For who [were those], having heard, [that] provoked, but not all those having come out of Egypt through Moses?

For some, when they had heard, did provoke: nevertheless not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

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

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 did He swear that they will not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe?

And to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

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

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