Hebrews - Chapter 3 | English Standard Version

  • 1. Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,
  • 2. who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house.
  • 3. For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses--as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself.
  • 4. (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.)
  • 5. Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later,
  • 6. but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.
  • 7. Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "Today, if you hear his voice,
  • 8. do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness,
  • 9. where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works
  • 10. for forty years. Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, 'They always go astray in their heart; they have not known my ways.'
  • 11. As I swore in my wrath, 'They shall not enter my rest.'"
  • 12. Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.
  • 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.
  • 14. For we share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.
  • 15. As it is said, "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."
  • 16. For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses?
  • 17. And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
  • 18. And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
  • 19. So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
