| 1 | Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;
| |
| 2 | who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.
| |
| 3 | For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he who built the house has more honor than the house.
| |
| 4 | For every house is built by someone; but he who built 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,
| |
| 6 | but Christ as a Son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.
| |
| 7 | Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will hear his voice,
| |
| 8 | Don't harden your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
| |
| 9 | Where your fathers tested me by proving me, And 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;'
| |
| 11 | As I swore in my wrath, 'They will not enter into my rest.'"
| |
| 12 | Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there will be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away 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.
| |
| 14 | For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our 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 provocation."
| |
| 16 | For who, when they heard, did provoke? No, didn't all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?
| |
| 17 | With whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
| |
| 18 | To whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
| |
| 19 | We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
