< Hebrews 3 >

1 Therefore, holy brothers, you share in a heavenly calling. Think about Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the apostle and chief priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,
2 He was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses was also faithful in God's house.
being stedfast to Him who did appoint him, as also Moses in all his house,
3 For Jesus has been considered worthy of greater glory than Moses, because the one who builds a house has more honor than the house itself.
for of more glory than Moses hath this one been counted worthy, inasmuch as more honour than the house hath he who doth build it,
4 For every house is built by someone, but the one who built everything is God.
for every house is builded by some one, and He who the all things did build [is] God,
5 For Moses was faithful as a servant in God's entire house, bearing witness about the things that were to be spoken of in the future.
and Moses indeed [was] stedfast in all his house, as an attendant, for a testimony of those things that were to be spoken,
6 But Christ is faithful as a Son who is in charge of God's house. We are his house if we hold fast to our courage and the hope of which we boast.
and Christ, as a Son over his house, whose house are we, if the boldness and the rejoicing of the hope unto the end we hold fast.
7 Therefore, it is just as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice
Wherefore, (as the Holy Spirit saith, 'To-day, if His voice ye may hear —
8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the time of testing in the wilderness.
ye may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of the temptation in the wilderness,
9 This was when your ancestors rebelled by testing me, and when, during forty years, they saw my deeds.
in which tempt Me did your fathers, they did prove Me, and saw My works forty years;
10 Therefore I was displeased with that generation. I said, 'They have always gone astray in their hearts. They have not known my ways.'
wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, Always do they go astray in heart, and these have not known My ways;
11 It is just as I swore in my anger: 'They will never enter my rest.'”
so I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest —!')
12 Be careful, brothers, so that among you there will not be anyone with an evil heart of unbelief, a heart that turns away from the living God.
See, brethren, lest there shall be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God,
13 Instead, encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “today,” so that no one among you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
but exhort ye one another every day, while the To-day is called, that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of the sin,
14 For we have become partners of Christ if we firmly hold to our confidence in him from the beginning to the end.
for partakers we have become of the Christ, if the beginning of the confidence unto the end we may hold fast,
15 About this it has been said, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.”
in its being said, 'To-day, if His voice ye may hear, ye may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation,'
16 Who was it who heard God and rebelled? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt through Moses?
for certain having heard did provoke, but not all who did come out of Egypt through Moses;
17 With whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness?
but with whom was He grieved forty years? was it not with those who did sin, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18 To whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, if it was not to those who disobeyed him?
and to whom did He swear that they shall not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe? —
19 We see that they were not able to enter his rest because of unbelief.
and we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
