# Chapter 3
|
||
1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,
|
||
2 who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house.
|
||
3 For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch 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 And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward,
|
||
6 but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.
|
||
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:
|
||
“Today, if you will hear His voice,
|
||
8 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
|
||
In the day of trial in the wilderness,
|
||
9 Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,
|
||
And saw My works forty years.
|
||
10 Therefore I was angry with that generation,
|
||
And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
|
||
And they have not known My ways.’
|
||
11 So I swore in My wrath,
|
||
‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”
|
||
12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;
|
||
13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
|
||
14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,
|
||
15 while it is said:
|
||
“Today, if you will hear His voice,
|
||
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
|
||
16 For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses?
|
||
17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?
|
||
18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?
|
||
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. |
