3:1  Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly call, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.
3:2  He was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in God’s house.
3:3  Yet Jesus has been counted worthy of as much more glory than Moses as the builder of a house has more honor than the house.
3:4  (For every house is built by some one, but the builder of all things is God.)
3:5  Now Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later,
3:6  but Christ was faithful over God’s house as a son. And we are his house if we hold fast our confidence and pride in our hope.
3:7  Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, “Today, when you hear his voice,
3:8  do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness,
3:9  where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years.
3:10  Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their hearts; they have not known my ways.’
3:11  As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”
3:12  Take care, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.
3:13  But exhort 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 share in Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end,
3:15  while it is said, “Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
3:16  Who were they that heard and yet were rebellious? Was it not all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses?
3:17  And with whom was he provoked 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 should never enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
3:19  So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
