3:1 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus;
3:2 He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house.
3:3 For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house.
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, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later;
3:6 but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the boast of our hope.
3:7 Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you hear His voice,
3:8 Do not harden your hearts as when they provoked Me, As on the day of trial 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 angry with this generation, And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, And they did not know My ways’;
3:11 As I swore in My anger, ‘They certainly shall not enter My rest.’”
3:12 Take care, brothers and sisters, that there will not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.
3:13 But encourage one another every day, as long as it is still called “today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
3:14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we keep the beginning of our commitment firm until the end,
3:15 while it is said, “Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts, as when they provoked Me.”
3:16 For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?
3:17 And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness?
3:18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient?
3:19 And so we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
