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, you share in a heavenly calling. Think about Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.

2 Who was faithfull to him that hath appointed him, euen as Moses was in al his house.

He was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses was also faithful in God's 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 Jesus has been considered worthy of greater glory than Moses, because the one who builds a house has more honor than the house itself.

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 the one who built everything 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.

For Moses was faithful as a servant in God's entire house, bearing witness about the things that were to be spoken of in the future.

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 who is in charge of God's house. We are his house if we hold fast to our courage and the hope of which we boast.

7 Wherefore, as the holy Ghost sayth, To day if ye shall heare his voyce,

Therefore, it is just as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you 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 rebellion, in the time of testing in the wilderness.

9 Where your fathers tempted me, prooued me, and sawe my workes fourtie yeeres long.

This was when your ancestors rebelled by testing me, and when, during forty years, they saw my deeds.

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 that generation. I said, 'They have always gone astray in their hearts. They have not known my ways.'

11 Therefore I sware in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.

It is just as I swore in my anger: 'They will never enter 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.

Be careful, brothers, so that among you there will not be anyone with an evil heart of unbelief, a heart that turns 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.

Instead, encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “today,” so that no one among you will 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 partners of Christ if we firmly hold to our confidence in him from the beginning 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.

About this it has been said, “Today, if you 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.

Who was it who heard God and rebelled? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt through 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 angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose dead 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 his rest, if it was not to those who disobeyed him?

19 So we see that they could not enter in, because of vnbeliefe.

We see that they were not able to enter his rest because of unbelief.
