< Hebrews 3 >

1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, attentively consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest whom we have confessed;
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, [even] Jesus;
2 who, as well as Moses, is faithful to him that appointed him over all his house.
who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.
3 Indeed, he has been accounted worthy of glory, as far superior to Moses, as that of the builder is superior to the house.
For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honor than the house.
4 Now every house is built by some one; but he, the builder of all things, is God.
For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God.
5 And Moses, indeed, as a servant, was faithful in all his house, for a testimony of the things that were to be spoken by him;
And 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 own house--whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence, and the rejoicing of our hope, unshaken to the end.
but Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end.
7 Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "To-day, if you will hear his voice,
Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice,
8 harden not your hearts, as in the bitter provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness;
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
9 where your fathers tempted me, and proved me, yet saw my works for forty years.
Where your fathers tried [me] by proving [me], And saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore, I was displeased with that generation, and said, They always err in heart, and they have not known my ways.
Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways;
11 So, I swore, in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest."
As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.
12 Brethren, take heed, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, by departing from the living God.
Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God:
13 But, lest any of you be hardened, through the deceitfulness of sin, exhort one another every day, while it is called To-day:
but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin:
14 (for we are all partakers of Christ, if, indeed, we hold fast this first confidence firm to the end; )
for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end:
15 with this saying, "To-day, if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the bitter provocation."
while it is said, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For some, when they heard, did bitterly provoke; yet, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses?
17 Was it not with them who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest, but to them who did not believe?
And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient?
19 So, we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
