< Hebrews 3 >

1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus:
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, [even] Jesus;
2 Who is faithful to him that made him, as was also Moses in all his house.
who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.
3 For this man was counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as he that hath built the house, hath greater honour than the house.
For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honor than the house.
4 For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things, is God.
For every house is builded by some one; but he that 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 were to be said:
And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken;
6 But Christ as the Son in his own house: which house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and glory of hope unto the end.
but Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end.
7 Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith: Today if you shall hear his voice,
Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation; in the day of temptation in the desert,
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
9 Where your fathers tempted me, proved and saw my works,
Where your fathers tried [me] by proving [me], And saw my works forty years.
10 Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I said: They always err in heart. And they have not known my ways,
Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways;
11 As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest.
As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.
12 Take heed, brethren, lest perhaps there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God.
Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God:
13 But exhort one another every day, whilst it is called today, that none of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin:
14 For we are made partakers of Christ: yet so, if we hold the beginning of his substance firm unto the end.
for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end:
15 While it is said, Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in that provocation.
while it is said, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For some who heard did provoke: but not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses?
17 And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert?
And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous?
And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient?
19 And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.
And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
