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 Moses also was 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 He was accounted worthy of more honor than Moses, as he who hath built it, hath 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 some one: and 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—

Now Moses was indeed faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of the things which were 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 as a Son over his own house; whose house we are, if we maintain the free profession and exultation of hope firm unto the end.

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

Therefore, as the holy Ghost saith, "To-day if ye 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, when your fathers tempted me,

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

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 provoked with that generation, and said, They are always erring 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 sware 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, my brethren, least there be in any of you a wicked 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; that none of you may 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 fast our first confidence firm unto the end; inasmuch as it is said,

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

"To-day if ye will hear his voice,

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

harden not your hearts, as in the provocation." For some that heard did provoke; but not all that came out of Egypt with 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 provoked forty years? was it not with those that sinned, whose carcases 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 did He swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those that were disobedient?

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

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