< Hebrews 3 >
1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, [even] Jesus;
Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;
2 who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.
who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in his house.
3 For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honour than the house.
For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, just as he who built the house has more honor than the house.
4 For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God.
For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.
5 And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken;
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 house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end.
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.
7 Wherefore, even as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye shall hear his voice,
Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the temptation in the wilderness,
do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
9 Wherewith your fathers tempted [me] by proving [me], And saw my works forty years.
where your fathers tested me and challenged me, and saw my works for forty years.
10 Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do alway err in their heart: But they did not know my ways;
Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and said, 'They always err in their heart, but they did not know my ways;'
11 As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.
as I swore in my wrath, 'They will not enter into my rest.'"
12 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:
Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away 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 day by day, so long as it is called "today;" lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
14 for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end:
For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:
15 while it is said, Today if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
while it is said, "Today if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion."
16 For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses?
For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, did not all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?
17 And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
With whom was he displeased forty years? Was not it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient?
To whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
19 And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
