3:1  For this reason, holy brothers, you who share in the heavenly calling, consider that the apostle and high priest of whom our confession speaks, Jesus,
3:2  was faithful to the one who appointed him in all his house, as Moses also was. ·
3:3  For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory 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 the one who built everything is God.
3:5  Now Moses was faithful in all · God’s household as a servant, bearing witness to those things that would be spoken later,
3:6  but Christ is faithful as the Son, presiding over · God’s household, and we are his household if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.
3:7  Therefore just as the Holy Spirit says, · “Today, if you hear · his voice,
3:8  do not harden · your hearts as you did in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness
3:9  where your fathers put · me to the test through their distrust, though they had seen · my works
3:10  for forty years. Therefore I was angry with this generation and said, ‘They are always going astray in their hearts, and they have not known · my ways.’
3:11  So I swore in · my anger, ‘They shall certainly not enter · my rest.’
3:12  Be careful, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
3:13  But encourage one another every day, as long as it is called · “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
3:14  For we have become partners of Christ, if in fact we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end.
3:15  As it is said, “Today, if you hear · his voice, do not harden · your hearts as you did in the rebellion.”
3:16  For who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not really all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?
3:17  And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose · bodies fell in the wilderness?
3:18  And to whom did he swear that they would not enter · his rest, except those who had refused to obey?
3:19  So then we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
