Hebrews 3

1 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus,

For this reason, holy brothers, marked out to have a part in heaven, give thought to Jesus the representative and high priest of our faith;

2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also Moses was in all his house.

Who kept faith with God who gave him his place, even as Moses did in all his house.

3 For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who built the house has more honor than the house.

And it was right for this man to have more honour than Moses, even as the builder of a house has more honour than the house.

4 For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.

For every house has a builder; but the builder of 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,

And Moses certainly kept faith as a servant, in all his house, and as a witness of those things which were to be said later;

6 but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

But Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we keep our hearts fixed in the glad and certain hope till the end.

7 Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice,

And so, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you let his voice come to your ears,

8 don’t harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

Be not hard of heart, as when you made me angry, on the day of testing in the waste land,

9 where your fathers tested me and tried me, and saw my deeds for forty years.

When your fathers put me to the test, 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.’

So that I was angry with this generation, and I said, Their hearts are in error at all times, and they have no knowledge of my ways;

11 As I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’”

And being angry I made an oath, saying, They may not come into my rest.

12 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;

My brothers, take care that there is not by chance in any one of you an evil heart without belief, turning 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.

But give comfort to one another every day as long as it is still Today; so that no one among you may be made hard by the deceit of sin:

14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end,

For if we keep the substance of the faith which we had at the start, even till the end, we have a part with Christ;

15 while it is said, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.”

As it is said, Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart, as when you made him angry.

16 For who, when they heard, rebelled? Wasn’t it all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

Who made him angry when his voice came to them? was it not all those who came out of Egypt with Moses?

17 With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

And with whom was he angry for forty years? was it not with those who did evil, who came to their deaths in the waste land?

18 To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

And to whom did he make an oath that they might not come into his rest? was it not to those who went against his orders?

19 We see that they weren’t able to enter in because of unbelief.

So we see that they were not able to go in because they had no belief.
