Hebrews

3 Whence, holy brethren, partners in a heavenly calling, Attentively consider the Apostle and High-priest of our confession—Jesus

2 As one faithful to him who made him: As Moses also in [all] his house.

3 For of more glory than Moses hath this one been counted worthy—By as much as more honour than the house hath he that prepared it;

4 For every house is prepared by some one,—But he that hath prepared all things is God.

5 Even Moses indeed was faithful in all his house, As an attendant for a witness of the things which were to be spoken;

6 But Christ as a Son over his house,—Whose house are we——if the freedom of speech and boast of the hope [throughout firm] we hold fast.

7 Wherefore,—According as saith the Holy Spirit—To-day if unto his voice ye would hearken

8 Do not harden your hearts,—As in the embitterment, In the day of testing in the desert,

9 When your fathers tested by proving, And saw my works forty years.

10 Wherefore I was sore vexed with this generation And said, Always err they in their heart;—Howbeit they learned not my ways:

11 So I sware in mine anger—They shall not enter into my rest!—

12 Be taking heed, brethren, Lest at any time there shall be in any one of you A wicked heart of unbelief, In revolting from a Living God.

13 But be exhorting one another on each successive day,—While the To-day is being named! Lest any from among you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

14 For partners of the Christ have we become,—If at least the beginning of the confidence throughout firm we hold fast:

15 So long as it is said—To-day if unto his voice ye would hearken Do not harden your hearts,—As in the embitterment.

16 For who though they heard caused embitterment? Nay indeed! did not all who came forth out of Egypt through Moses?

17 But with whom was he sore vexed forty years? Was it not with them who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the desert?

18 But unto whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest,—Save unto them who were obstinate?

19 And we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
