Hebrews 3

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

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high-priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

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

who was faithful to Him that appointed Him, as Moses also was 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.

For He was accounted worthy of more honor than Moses, as he who hath built it, hath more honor than the house.

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

For every house is built by some one: and 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,

Now Moses was indeed faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of the things which were to 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 as a Son over his own house; whose house we are, if we maintain the free profession and exultation of hope firm unto the end.

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

Therefore, as the holy Ghost saith, "To-day if ye will hear his voice,

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

harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness, when your fathers tempted me,

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

proved me, and saw my works 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.’

wherefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, They are always erring in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

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

so I sware in my wrath, they shall not enter 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;

Take heed, my brethren, least there be in any of you a wicked heart of unbelief in departing 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 exhort one another daily, while it is called to-day; that none of you may be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin:

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

for we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold fast our first confidence firm unto the end; inasmuch as it is said,

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

"To-day if ye will hear his voice,

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

harden not your hearts, as in the provocation." For some that heard did provoke; but not all that 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?

But with whom was He provoked forty years? was it not with those that sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

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 swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those that were disobedient?

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

and so we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
