3:1 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;

3:2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.

3:3 For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he who built the house has more honor than the house.

3:4 For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.

3:5 Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,

3:6 but Christ as a Son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

3:7 Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will hear his voice,

3:8 Don`t harden your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

3:9 Where your fathers tested me by proving me, And saw my works for forty years.

3:10 Therefore I was displeased with that generation, And said, `They always err in their heart, But they didn`t know my ways;`

3:11 As I swore in my wrath, `They will not enter into my rest.`"

3:12 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there will be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;

3:13 but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called "today;" lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

3:14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:

3:15 while it is said, "Today if you will hear his voice, Don`t harden your hearts, as in the provocation."

3:16 For who, when they heard, did provoke? No, didn`t all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?

3:17 With whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

3:18 To whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
