3:1  Therefore, brothers and sisters, holy partners in a heavenly calling, consider that Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,
3:2  was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses also “was faithful in all God’s house.”
3:3  Yet Jesus is worthy of more glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself.
3:4  (For every house is built by someone, 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 would be spoken later.
3:6  Christ, however, was faithful over God’s house as a son, and we are his house if we hold firm the confidence and the pride that belong to hope.
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, as on the day of testing in the wilderness,
3:9  where your ancestors put me to the test, though they had seen my works
3:10  for forty years. Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘They always go astray in their hearts, and they have not known my ways.’
3:11  As in my anger I swore, ‘They will not enter my rest.’”
3:12  Take care, brothers and sisters, that none of you may have an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
3:13  But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
3:14  For we have become partners of Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to 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  Now who were they who heard and yet were rebellious? Was it not all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses?
3:17  But with whom was he angry forty years? Was it not those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
3:18  And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, if not to those who were disobedient?
3:19  So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
