3:1 Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.
3:2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.
3:3 Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.
3:4 For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
3:5 Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be said in the future.
3:6 But Christ is faithful as a son over God’s house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast.
3:7 So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice,
3:8 do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the desert,
3:9 where your fathers tested and tried me and for forty years saw what I did.
3:10 That is why I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.’
3:11 So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”
3:12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
3:13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
3:14 We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first.
3:15 As has just been said: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.”
3:16 Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
3:17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert?
3:18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed?
3:19 So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.
3:1 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus,
3:2 Who was faithful to Him who constituted Him, as also Moses was in all His house.
3:3 For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by as much as He who built the house has more honor than the house.
3:4 For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.
3:5 And Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken later;
3:6 But Christ was faithful as a Son over His house, whose house we are if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.
3:7 Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you hear His voice,
3:8 Do not harden your hearts as in the provocation, in the day of trial in the wilderness,
3:9 Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me and saw My works for forty years.
3:10 Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and I said, They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways;
3:11 As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest!”
3:12 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief in falling away from the living God.
3:13 But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called “today,” lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin ?
3:14 For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of the assurance firm to the end ?
3:15 While it is said, “Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the provocation.”
3:16 For who provoked Him when they heard? Indeed was it not all who came out of Egypt by Moses?
3:17 And with whom was He displeased for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
3:18 And to whom did He swear that they should not enter into His rest, except to the disobedient?
3:19 And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
