| 3:1 |
Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus; |
| 3:2 |
who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house. |
| 3:3 |
For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built the house has more honor than the house. |
| 3:4 |
For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God. |
| 3:5 |
Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken, |
| 3:6 |
but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house; whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end. |
| 3:7 |
Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will hear his voice, |
| 3:8 |
don't harden your hearts, as in the provocation, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness, |
| 3:9 |
where your fathers tested me by proving me, and saw my works for forty years. |
| 3:10 |
Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, 'They always err in their heart, but they didn't know my ways;' |
| 3:11 |
as I swore in my wrath, 'They will not enter into my rest.'" { Psalm 95:7-11 } |
| 3:12 |
Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God; |
| 3:13 |
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. |
| 3:14 |
For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end: |
| 3:15 |
while it is said, "Today if you will hear his voice, don't harden your hearts, as in the rebellion." { Psalm 95:7-8 } |
| 3:16 |
For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, didn't all those who came out of Egypt by Moses? |
| 3:17 |
With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn't it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? |
| 3:18 |
To whom did he swear that they wouldn't enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient? |
| 3:19 |
We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief. |
