3:1  Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, focus your attention on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.
3:2  He was faithful to the one who appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in God’s whole house.
3:3  In fact, Jesus is worthy of greater glory than Moses, in the same way that the builder of a house has more honor than the house.
3:4  For every house is built by someone, and God is the one who built everything.
3:5  Moses was faithful as a servant within God’s whole house by testifying to the things that would be spoken.
3:6  But Christ is faithful as a Son over God’s house. We are his house, if we hold on firmly to our confidence and the hope about which we boast until the end.
3:7  Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: Today, if you hear his voice,
3:8  do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness.
3:9  Your fathers tested and tried me, even though they saw my works
3:10  for forty years. That is why I was angry with that generation and said, “In their heart they are always going astray, and they did not learn my ways.”
3:11  So I swore an oath in my wrath, “They will never enter my rest.”
3:12  Watch out, brothers, so that there is not an evil, unbelieving heart in any of you 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 are hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
3:14  For we have become people who share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firmly until the end.
3:15  As it is said: Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.
3:16  Who was it who heard and rebelled? Wasn’t it all those who left Egypt, led by Moses?
3:17  And with whom was God angry for forty years? Surely it was with the ones who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness, wasn’t it?
3:18  And about whom did he swear an oath that they would not enter his rest, if it wasn’t concerning those who were disobedient?
3:19  So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
