3:1 Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly call, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession. 3:2 He was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in God's house. 3:3 Yet Jesus has been counted worthy of as much more glory than Moses as the builder of a house has more honor than the house. 3:4 (For every house is built by some one, but the builder of all things is God.) 3:5 Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 3:6 but Christ was faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house if we hold fast our confidence and pride in ourhope. 3:7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, 'Today, when you hear his voice, 3:8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness, 3:9 where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years. 3:10 Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, They always go astray in their hearts;they have not known my ways.' 3:11 As I swore in my wrath, They shall never enter my rest.'' 3:12 Take care, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 3:13 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called 'today,' that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 3:14 For we share in Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end, 3:15 while it is said, 'Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.' 3:16 Who were they that heard and yet were rebellious? Was it not all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses? 3:17 And with whom was he provoked 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 should never enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 3:19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
