Hebrews 3
1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the
heavenly calling, consider the
Apostle and High
Priest of
our profession, Christ Jesus; 2 Who
was faithful to him that
appointed him, as also Moses was faithful
in all his house. 3 For this man was counted
worthy of
more glory than Moses, inasmuch
as he who hath
builded the
house hath
more honour than the
house. 4 For every house is
builded by some man;
but he that
built all
things is
God. 5 And Moses verily was
faithful in all his house, as a
servant, for a
testimony of those things which were to be spoken
after;
6 But Christ as a
son over his
own house; whose house are we, if we hold
fast the
confidence and the
rejoicing of the
hope firm unto the
end. 7 Wherefore (as the
Holy Ghost saith, To
day if ye will
hear his voice, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the
provocation, in the
day of
temptation in the
wilderness: 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. 10 Wherefore I was
grieved with
that generation, and said, They
do alway err in their
heart; and they have not known my ways. 11 So I
sware in my wrath, They
shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Take
heed,
brethren, lest there
be in any of
you an
evil heart of
unbelief, in departing from the
living God. 13 But exhort one
another daily,
while it is
called To
day; lest any of you be
hardened through the
deceitfulness of
sin. 14 For we are
made partakers of
Christ, if we hold the
beginning of our
confidence stedfast unto the
end; 15 While it is
said, To
day if ye will
hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the
provocation. 16 For some, when they had
heard, did
provoke:
howbeit not all that
came out
of Egypt by Moses. 17 But with
whom was he
grieved forty years? was it
not with them that had
sinned,
whose carcases fell in the
wilderness? 18 And to
whom sware
he that they
should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed
not?
19 So we
see that they
could not enter
in because of
unbelief.
