| 3:1 | The Son Was FaithfulChrist Our Model of Faithfulness Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, |
| 3:2 | who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house. |
| 3:3 | For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house. |
| 3:4 | For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God. |
| 3:5 | And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward, |
| 3:6 | but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.Be Faithful |
| 3:7 | Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:"Today, if you will hear His voice, |
| 3:8 | Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness, |
| 3:9 | Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, And saw My works forty years. |
| 3:10 | Therefore I was angry with that generation, And said, "They always go astray in their heart, And they have not known My ways.' |
| 3:11 | So I swore in My wrath, "They shall not enter My rest."' |
| 3:12 | Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; |
| 3:13 | but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. |
| 3:14 | For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, |
| 3:15 | while it is said:"Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."Failure of the Wilderness Wanderers |
| 3:16 | For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? |
| 3:17 | Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? |
| 3:18 | And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? |
| 3:19 | So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. |
