Hebrews 3
- 1
Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partners in a heavenly calling, take note of Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess,
- 2
who is faithful to the one who appointed him, as Moses was also in God’s house.
- 3
For he has come to deserve greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house deserves greater 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 would be spoken.
- 6
But Christ is faithful as a son over God’s house. We are of his house, if in fact we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope we take pride in.
- 7
Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, “Oh, that today you would listen as he speaks!
- 8
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness.
- 9
There your fathers tested me and tried me, and they saw my works for forty years.
- 10
Therefore, I became provoked at that generation and said, ‘Their hearts are always wandering, and they have not known my ways.’
- 11
As I swore in my anger, ‘They will never enter my rest!’”
- 12
See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has an evil, unbelieving heart that forsakes the living God.
- 13
But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called “Today,” that none of you may become hardened by sin’s deception.
- 14
For we have become partners with Christ, if in fact we hold our initial confidence firm until the end.
- 15
As it says, “Oh, that today you would listen as he speaks! Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
- 16
For which ones heard and rebelled? Was it not all who came out of Egypt under Moses’ leadership?
- 17
And against whom was God provoked for forty years? Was it not those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness?
- 18
And to whom did he swear they would never enter into his rest, except those who were disobedient?
- 19
So we see that they could not enter because of unbelief.
