Hebrews 3

1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high-priest of our profession, Jesus;

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

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

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

3 For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as greater than the house is he who built it.

For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who builds it has more honor than the house.

4 For every house is builded by some one; but he who built all things is God.

For every house is built by someone, and He who built all things [is] God,

5 And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, that he might testify of those things which were to be spoken;

and Moses [was] indeed steadfast in all His house, as an attendant, for a testimony of those things that were to be spoken—

6 but Christ as a son over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and joyousness of our hope.

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.

7 Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit saith: “To-day, if ye hear his voice,

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

8 harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of the temptation in the wilderness,

you may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of the temptation in the wilderness,

9 where your fathers tempted me by proving me, and saw my works forty years.

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

10 Wherefore I was offended with that generation, and said, They always err in their heart, but they knew not my ways;

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;

11 so I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.”

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

12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

Watch out, brothers, lest there will be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God,

13 But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you may be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

but exhort one another every day, while [it] is called “Today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin,

14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast our first confidence firm to the end.

for we have become partakers of the Christ, if we may hold fast the confidence [we had] at the beginning to the end,

15 When it is said, “To-day, if ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation,”

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

16 who then, when they had heard, provoked? Was it not all who came out of Egypt by means of Moses?

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

17 And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

But with whom was He grieved forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

18 And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, except to those who were disobedient?

And to whom did He swear that they will not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe?

19 So then 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.
