# Chapter 3
|
||
1 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.
|
||
2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was in all God’s household.
|
||
3 For Jesus is considered worthy of more glory than Moses, just as the builder has more honor than the house.
|
||
4 Now every house is built by someone, but the one who built everything is God.
|
||
5 Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s household, as a testimony to what would be said in the future.
|
||
6 But Christ was faithful as a Son over his household. And we are that household if we hold on to our confidence and the hope in which we boast.
|
||
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:
|
||
Today, if you hear his voice,
|
||
8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
|
||
on the day of testing in the wilderness,
|
||
9 where your ancestors tested me, tried me,
|
||
and saw my works
|
||
10 for forty years.
|
||
Therefore I was provoked to anger with that generation
|
||
and said, “They always go astray in their hearts,
|
||
and they have not known my ways.”
|
||
11 So I swore in my anger,
|
||
“They will not enter my rest.”
|
||
12 Watch out, brothers and sisters, so that there won’t be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
|
||
13 But encourage each other daily, while it is still called today, so that none of you is hardened by sin’s deception.
|
||
14 For we have become participants in Christ if we hold firmly until the end the reality that we had at the start.
|
||
15 As it is said:
|
||
Today, if you hear his voice,
|
||
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.
|
||
16 For who heard and rebelled? Wasn’t it all who came out of Egypt under Moses?
|
||
17 With whom was God angry for forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
|
||
18 And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, if not to those who disobeyed?
|
||
19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief. |
