Hebrews 3

1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus:

Wherefore, my holy brethren, who are called with a calling that is from heaven, consider this Legate and High Priest of our profession, Jesus the Messiah:

2 Who is faithful to him that made him, as was also Moses in all his house.

who was faithful to him that made him, as 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 much greater is the glory of this man, than that of Moses; just as the glory of the builder of a house, is greater than that of the edifice.

4 For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things, is God.

For every house is built by some man; but he who buildeth 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, as a servant, was faithful in all the house, for an attestation to those things that were to be spoken by him:

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 the Messiah as the SON, is over his own house; and we are his house, if we retain unto the end assurance, and the triumph of hope in him.

7 Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith: Today if you shall hear his voice,

Because the Holy Spirit hath said: To-day, if ye will hear his voice,

8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation; in the day of temptation in the desert,

harden not your hearts to anger him, like the provocators, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness,

9 Where your fathers tempted me, proved and saw my works,

when your fathers tempted me, and proved, 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,

Therefore I was disgusted with that generation, and said: This is a people, whose heart wandereth, and they have not known my ways:

11 As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest.

so that I swore in my wrath, that they should 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.

Beware, therefore, my brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart that believeth not, and ye depart 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 examine yourselves all the days, during the day which is called to-day; and let none of you be hardened, through 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 have part with the Messiah, if we persevere in this firm confidence, from the beginning to the end:

15 While it is said, Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in that provocation.

as it is said, To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, to anger him.

16 For some who heard did provoke: but not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

But who were they that heard, and angered him? It was not all they, who came out of Egypt under 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 disgusted forty years, but with those who sinned, and whose carcasses 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 of whom swore he, that they should not enter into his rest, but of those who believed not?

19 And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.

So we see that they could not enter, because they believed not.
