Hebrews 3
Jesus Our High Priest
1 Therefore, aholy brothers and sisters, partakers of a bheavenly calling, consider cthe Apostle and dHigh Priest of our econfession: Jesus; 2 ▼▼Lit being faithful
He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as gMoses also was in all His house. 3 hFor 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. 4For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. 5Now iMoses was faithful in all ▼▼Lit His
God’s house as ka servant, lfor a testimony of those things mwhich were to be spoken later; 6but Christ was faithful as na Son over His house-- owhose house we are, pif we hold firmly to our qconfidence and the boast of our ▼▼One early ms adds firm until the end
,
shope. 7 Therefore, just as tthe Holy Spirit says,“ uToday if you hear His voice,8 vDo not harden your hearts as ▼
▼Lit in the provocation
when they provoked Me,As on the day of trial in the wilderness,
9 xWhere your fathers put Me to the test,
And saw My works for yforty years.
10 “ zTherefore I was angry with this generation,
And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
And they did not know My ways’;
11 aa As I swore in My anger,
‘They certainly shall not enter My rest.’”
The Danger of Unbelief
12 abTake care, brothers and sisters, that there will not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart ▼▼Or that leaves the; lit in falling away from
that falls away from adthe living God. 13But aeencourage one another every day, as long as it is still called “today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the afdeceitfulness of sin. 14For we have become partakers of Christ agif we keep the beginning of our ▼▼Or assurance
,
aicommitment firm until the end, 15while it is said,“ ajToday if you hear His voice,Do not harden your hearts, as ▼
▼Lit in the rebellion
when they provoked Me.”16 For who alprovoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, amdid not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? 17And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, anwhose dead bodies fell in the wilderness? 18And to whom did He swear aothat they would not enter His rest, but to those who were apdisobedient? 19And so we see that they were not able to enter because of aqunbelief.
