3:1 Therefore, brethren, saints, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,
3:2 who was faithful to him that appointed him over all his house, as also Moses was faithful.
3:3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built the house has more honour than the house.
3:4 For every house is built by someone, but he that created all things is God.
3:5 And Moses verily was faithful over all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after,
3:6 but Christ as a son over his own house, which house we are, if we hold fast the confidence and the glorious hope firmly until the end.
3:7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit saith, Today if ye will hear his voice,
3:8 harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
3:9 Where your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
3:10 Therefore, I was indignant with that generation and said, They do always err from their heart, and they have not known my ways.
3:11 So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.
3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unfaithfulness, to depart from the living God.
3:13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end;
3:15 while it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
3:16 For some of those that came out of Egypt with Moses, when they had heard, did provoke; howbeit not all.
3:17 But with whom was he indignant forty years? Was it not with those that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
3:18 And to whom he swore that they should not enter into his rest, but to those that disobeyed?
3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of their unbelief.
