3:1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,
3:2 who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house.
3:3 For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house.
3:4 For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.
3:5 And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward,
3:6 but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.
3:7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you will hear His voice,
3:8 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness,
3:9 Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, And saw My works forty years.
3:10 Therefore I was angry with that generation, And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, And they have not known My ways.’
3:11 So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”
3:12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing 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 have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,
3:15 while it is said: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
3:16 For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses?
3:17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?
3:18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?
3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
