Hebrews 3

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

Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;

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

who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in 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 he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, just as he who built the house has more honor 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 someone; but he who 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—

Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,

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 is faithful as a Son over his house; whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope.

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

Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if 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,

do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

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

where your fathers tested me and challenged me, and saw my works for 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;

Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and said, 'They always err in their heart, but they did not know my ways;'

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

as I swore in my wrath, 'They will 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,

Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away 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 day by day, so long as it is called "today;" lest any one of you be hardened by 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 have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to 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, "Today if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion."

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

For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, did not all those who 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?

With whom was he displeased forty years? Was not it with those who sinned, whose bodies 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?

To whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

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

We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
