Hebrews Chapter 3

1In view of which, holy brothers, partakers of the upper-heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus Christ, 2who was faithful to him who appointed him, as Moses was in all his house. 3For this man has been considered worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as the one who constructed a house has more honour than the house itself. 4For every house is constructed by someone, but he who constructed everything is God. 5And Moses was indeed faithful in all his house as a servant, as a testimony of things which would be spoken about, 6but Christ was faithful as a son over his house, and we are of that house, if, that is to say, we hold fast to the firm confidence and boast of hope to the end. 7For that reason – as the holy spirit says,

“Today, if you heed his voice,

8Do not harden your hearts

As in the provocation,

As on the day of testing in the desert,

9Where your fathers put me to the proof

And tested me

And saw my works for forty years –

10For that reason I became angry with that generation,

And I said,

‘They are always erring in their heart,

And they do not know my ways.’

11So I swore in my anger,

‘They shall certainly not enter into my rest.’ ”

12Watch out, brothers, in case there is in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in defecting from the living God. 13But comfort each other every day as long as it is called “today”, in order that not one of you be hardened by sinful deceit. 14For we have become partakers of Christ, if, that is to say, we hold on to the origin of our entitlement firmly to the end, 15with it being said,

“Today, if you will heed his voice,

Do not harden your hearts

As in the provocation.”

16For some on hearing it were provocative, but not all who came out of Egypt under Moses' leadership were. 17And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the desert? 18And to whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, if not those who disbelieved? 19And we see that they were unable to enter in on account of disbelief.
