3:1 Hence holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession— Jesus—
3:2 as being faithful to the One having appointed Him, as also was Moses in His whole house.
3:3 For this One has been considered-worthy of more glory than Moses— to the degree that the One having built the house has more honor than the house.
3:4 For every house is built by someone, but the One having built all things is God.
3:5 And Moses was faithful in His whole house as a servant, for a testimony of the things which will be spoken.
3:6 But Christ was faithful as a Son over His house, whose house we are, if-indeed we hold-on-to our confidence and our boast of the hope.
3:7 Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says [in Ps 95:7-11]: “Today, if you hear His voice,
3:8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion during the day of testing in the wilderness,
3:9 where your fathers tested Me with a trial and saw My works
3:10 for forty years. Therefore I was-angry with this generation and said, ‘They are always going-astray in the heart, and they did not know My ways’.
3:11 As I swore in My wrath, they will never enter into My rest”.
3:12 Be watching-out, brothers, so that there will not-ever be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God.
3:13 But be exhorting yourselves each day, as long as it is called “Today”, in order that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
3:14 For we have become partakers of Christ if-indeed we hold-on-to the beginning of our assurance firm until the end—
3:15 in that it is said [in Ps 95:7-8]: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion”.
3:16 For who having heard rebelled? But was it not all the ones having come out of Egypt through Moses?
3:17 And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with the ones having sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?
3:18 And to whom did He swear that they will not enter into His rest, except to the ones having disobeyed?
3:19 And we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
