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, attentively consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest whom we have confessed;

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

who, as well as Moses, is faithful to him that appointed him over all his house.

3 For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who built the house has more honour than the house.

Indeed, he has been accounted worthy of glory, as far superior to Moses, as that of the builder is superior to the house.

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

Now every house is built by some one; but he, the builder 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, as a servant, was faithful in all his house, for a testimony of the things that were to be spoken by him;

6 but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

but Christ, as a Son, over his own house--whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence, and the rejoicing of our hope, unshaken to the end.

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

Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "To-day, if you will hear his voice,

8 don’t harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

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

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

where your fathers tempted me, and proved me, yet saw my works for forty years.

10 Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they didn’t know my ways.’

Wherefore, I was displeased with that generation, and said, They always err 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, They shall not enter into my rest."

12 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;

Brethren, take heed, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, by departing 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, lest any of you be hardened, through the deceitfulness of sin, exhort one another every day, while it is called To-day:

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

(for we are all partakers of Christ, if, indeed, we hold fast this first confidence firm to the end; )

15 while it is said, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.”

with this saying, "To-day, if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the bitter provocation."

16 For who, when they heard, rebelled? Wasn’t it all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

For some, when they heard, did bitterly provoke; yet, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

17 With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

Was it not with them who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

18 To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t 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 them who did not believe?

19 We see that they weren’t able to enter in because of unbelief.

So, we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
