< Hebrews 3 >

1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heauenly vocation, consider the Apostle and high Priest of our profession Christ Iesus:
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, [even] Jesus;
2 Who was faithfull to him that hath appointed him, euen as Moses was in al his house.
who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.
3 For this man is counted worthy of more glory then Moses, inasmuch as he which hath builded the house, hath more honour then 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 euery house is builded of some man, and he that hath built all things, is God.
For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God.
5 Now Moses verely was faithfull in all his house, as a seruant, for a witnesse of the thinges which should be spoken after.
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 is as the Sonne, ouer his owne house, whose house we are, if we holde fast that confidence and that reioycing of that hope vnto the ende.
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 sayth, To day if ye shall heare his voyce,
Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation, according to the day of the tentation in the wildernes,
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, prooued me, and sawe my workes fourtie yeeres long.
Where your fathers tried [me] by proving [me], And saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieued with that generation, and sayde, They erre euer in their heart, neither haue they knowen my wayes.
Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways;
11 Therefore I sware 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 heede, brethren, least at any time there be in any of you an euill heart, and vnfaithfull, to depart away from the liuing 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 dayly, while it is called to day, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulnes of sinne.
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, if we keepe sure vnto the ende that beginning, wherewith we are vpholden,
for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end:
15 So long as it is sayd, To day if ye heare his voyce, harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation.
while it is said, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For some when they heard, prouoked him to anger: howbeit, 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 But with whome was he displeased fourtie yeeres? Was hee not displeased with them that sinned, whose carkeises fell in the wildernes?
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 sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but vnto them that obeyed not?
And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient?
19 So we see that they could not enter in, because of vnbeliefe.
And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
