Our Apostle and High Priest
|
|
|
|
# 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.

Warning against Unbelief

|
7. Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:
|
|
<b class="quote">Today, if you hear his voice,**
|
|
|
|
8. <b class="quote">do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,**
|
|
<b class="quote">on the day of testing in the wilderness,**
|
|
|
|
9. <b class="quote">where your ancestors tested me, tried me**,
|
|
<b class="quote">
|
|
and saw my works**
|
|
10. <b class="quote">for forty years.**
|
|
<b class="quote">
|
|
Therefore I was provoked to anger with that generation**
|
|
<b class="quote">and said, "They always go astray in their hearts,**
|
|
<b class="quote">and they have not known my ways."**
|
|
|
|
11. <b class="quote">So I swore in my anger,**
|
|
<b class="quote">"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 <b class="quote">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:
|
|
<b class="quote">Today, if you hear his voice,**
|
|
<b class="quote">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.
