Hebrews 3

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

So then, holy brothers, you who share in the celestial calling, do contemplate the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus Christ!

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

who was faithful to the One who appointed Him, as also was Moses in all His[F] 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.

For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than was Moses, just as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself

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

—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,

also, Moses was indeed faithful as a servant in all His house, providing evidence of those things that would later be spoken,

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 is faithful as a Son over His house, whose house are we, if, that is, we hold fast the confidence, even the boast, of the Hope firm to the end.

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

Therefore—just as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you would hear His voice,

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

do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, during the time of the testing in the desert,

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

where your fathers tested me, proved 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.’

In consequence I became very angry with that generation and said, ‘Their heart always leads them astray; they have not known my ways.’

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

So I took an oath in my wrath, ‘As if they will ever enter 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;

—take care, brothers, that there not be a malignant heart of unbelief in any of you, so as to go 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.

rather, exhort yourselves every day, while it is called ‘today’, so that none of you be hardened through sin's deceitfulness.

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

For we have become associates of the Christ, if, that is, we hold fast the beginning of the Endeavor firm to the end,

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

while it is still being said, “Today, if you would hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

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

So who were they who, upon hearing, rebelled? Really now, was it not all those who came out of Egypt by 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[F] angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the desert?

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

Or to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, if not to those who disobeyed?

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

So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
