3:1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession; 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 His 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 fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end. 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 in the day of trial in the wilderness, 3:9 Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me, 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 wrath, 'They shall not enter My rest.' " 3:12 Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. 3:13 But encourage one another day after 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 hold fast the beginning of our assurance 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 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 So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
