Hebrews - Chapter 3

1Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the apostle and chief priest of our profession, Christ Jesus, 2being stedfast to Him who did appoint him, as also Moses in all his house, 3for of more glory than Moses hath this one been counted worthy, inasmuch as more honour than the house hath he who doth build it, 4for every house is builded by some one, and He who the all things did build `is' God, 5and Moses indeed `was' stedfast in all his house, as an attendant, for a testimony of those things that were to be spoken, 6and Christ, as a Son over his house, whose house are we, if the boldness and the rejoicing of the hope unto the end we hold fast. 7Wherefore, (as the Holy Spirit saith, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear -- 8ye may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of the temptation in the wilderness, 9in which tempt Me did your fathers, they did prove Me, and saw My works forty years; 10wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, Always do they go astray in heart, and these have not known My ways; 11so I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest -- !') 12See, brethren, lest there shall be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God, 13but exhort ye one another every day, while the To-day is called, that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of the sin, 14for partakers we have become of the Christ, if the beginning of the confidence unto the end we may hold fast, 15in its being said, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear, ye may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation,' 16for certain having heard did provoke, but not all who did come out of Egypt through Moses; 17but with whom was He grieved forty years? was it not with those who did sin, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? 18and to whom did He swear that they shall not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe? -- 19and we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
