< Hebrews 3 >

1 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, 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 was faithful to him who appointed him, as also Moses was in all his house.
who was faithful to him that made him, as was Moses in all his house.
3 For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who built the house has more honor 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 someone; but he who built all things is God.
For every house is built by some man; but he who buildeth all things is God.
5 Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,
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 is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to 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 Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice,
Because the Holy Spirit hath said: To-day, if ye will hear his voice,
8 don’t harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
harden not your hearts to anger him, like the provocators, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness,
9 where your fathers tested me and tried me, and saw my deeds for forty years.
when your fathers tempted me, and proved, and saw my works forty years.
10 Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they didn’t know 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 swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’”
so that I swore in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest.
12 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away 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 day by day, so long as it is called “today”, lest any one of you be hardened by 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 have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to 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 will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.”
as it is said, To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, to anger him.
16 For who, when they heard, rebelled? Wasn’t it all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?
But who were they that heard, and angered him? It was not all they, who came out of Egypt under Moses.
17 With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
And with whom was he disgusted forty years, but with those who sinned, and whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18 To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
and of whom swore he, that they should not enter into his rest, but of those who believed not?
19 We see that they weren’t able to enter in because of unbelief.
So we see that they could not enter, because they believed not.
