< Hebrews 3 >

1 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,
2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in his house.
who is faithful to him that appointed him, as Moses also was faithful in all his house.
3 For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, just as he who built the house has more honor than the house.
For this man is counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has builded the house, has more honor than the house.
4 For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.
For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God.
5 Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,
And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, to bear testimony to those things which were to be spoken afterward;
6 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.
but Christ, as a Son over his own house; whose house we are, if we hold the confidence and the joy of our hope firm to the end.
7 Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will hear his voice,
Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit says: To-day, if you will hear his voice,
8 do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
harden not your hearts, as in the bitter provocation, in the day of trial in the wilderness,
9 where your fathers tested me and challenged me, and saw my works for forty years.
where your fathers tried me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and said, 'They always err in their heart, but they did not know my ways;'
Where fore, I was angry with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
11 as I swore in my wrath, 'They will not enter into my rest.'"
so that I swore in my anger, They shall not enter into my rest.
12 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in apostatizing from the living God.
13 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.
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To-day, lest any of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:
For we are partakers of the Christ, if we hold our begun confidence firm to the end;
15 while it is said, "Today if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion."
while it is said, To-day, if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the bitter provocation.
16 For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, did not all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?
For some, when they had heard, did bitterly provoke; yet, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 With whom was he displeased forty years? Was not it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
But with whom was he angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18 To whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
But to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who believed not?
19 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.
