Hebrews 3

1 Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus Christ, the apostle and high priest of our confession,

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

2 who was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God's house.

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

3 Yet Jesus is considered worthy of more glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself.

For He was accounted worthy of more honor than Moses, as he who hath built it, hath more honor than the house.

4 For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.

For every house is built by some one: and He who built all things is God.

5 Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, which provided testimony to what would be spoken later.

Now Moses was indeed faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of the things which were to be spoken:

6 But Christ is faithful over God's house as a Son. And we are his house if indeed we hold our confidence firm to the end along with the hope in which we boast.

but Christ as a Son over his own house; whose house we are, if we maintain the free profession and exultation of hope firm unto the end.

7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, “Today, if you hear his voice,

Therefore, as the holy Ghost saith, "To-day if ye will hear his voice,

8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness,

harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness, when your fathers tempted me,

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

proved me, and saw my works forty years:

10 Therefore I was angry with that generation and said, ‘They always go astray in their hearts; they have not known my ways.’

wherefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, They are always erring in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

11 As I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter my rest!’”

so I sware in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest."

12 Brothers, make sure that none of you has an evil heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.

Take heed, my brethren, least there be in any of you a wicked heart of unbelief in departing from the living God:

13 But encourage one another each day, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

but exhort one another daily, while it is called to-day; that none of you may be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin:

14 For we have become sharers in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.

for we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold fast our first confidence firm unto the end; inasmuch as it is said,

15 As it is said, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

"To-day if ye will hear his voice,

16 For some did rebel when they heard God's voice, but not all whom Moses led out of Egypt.

harden not your hearts, as in the provocation." For some that heard did provoke; but not all that came out of Egypt with Moses.

17 Now with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

But with whom was He provoked forty years? was it not with those that sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

18 And to whom did God swear that they would not enter his rest, if not to those who were disobedient?

and to whom did He swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those that were disobedient?

19 So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were not able to enter.

and so we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
