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, contemplate the apostle and high-priest whom ye confess, Jesus Christ;

2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in his house.

who was faithful to him who appointed him, as Moses also was 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 personage hath been counted worthy of higher glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built it, hath greater honour than the house.

4 For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.

For every house is built by some person; but he who is the architect of 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 that house of his as a servant, to bear testimony of the things which should be after spoken;

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 are we, if we hold firmly the confidence and glorying of hope stedfast unto the end.

7 Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will hear his voice,

Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye 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 that bitter provocation, at the day of the temptation in the wilderness;

9 where your fathers tested me and challenged me, and saw my works for forty years.

when your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works during 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;'

Wherefore I was provoked against that generation, and said, They are always deluded in heart, and they have not known my ways:

11 as I swore in my wrath, 'They will not enter into my rest.'"

so I swore in my wrath that 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, that there be not in any one of you a wicked heart of infidelity, evident in departure 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, whilst to-day remains, that no one 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 with Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm unto 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 ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts as in the provocation.

16 For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, did not all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?

For some, though they had heard, provoked him; yet not all who 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 against whom was he incensed forty years? Was it not against those who had sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?

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

And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who did not believe?

19 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.
