< Hebrews 3 >

1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heauenly vocation, consider the Apostle and high Priest of our profession Christ Iesus:
Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;
2 Who was faithfull to him that hath appointed him, euen as Moses was in al his house.
who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in 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 has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, just as he who built the house has 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 built by someone; but he who 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.
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 is faithful as a Son over his house; whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope.
7 Wherefore, as the holy Ghost sayth, To day if ye shall heare his voyce,
Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation, according to the day of the tentation in the wildernes,
do not harden 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 tested me and challenged me, and saw my works for forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieued with that generation, and sayde, They erre euer in their heart, neither haue they knowen my wayes.
Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and said, 'They 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 swore in my wrath, 'They will 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.
Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there 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 "today;" 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 have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to 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, "Today if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion."
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, rebelled? No, did not all those who 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?
With whom was he displeased forty years? Was not it with those who 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?
To whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
19 So we see that they could not enter in, because of vnbeliefe.
We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
