Hebrews 3

¹Hebrews 3:1. Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.²Hebrews 3:2. He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.³Hebrews 3:3. For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.⁴Hebrews 3:4. And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.⁵Hebrews 3:5. Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later.⁶Hebrews 3:6. But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.

⁷Hebrews 3:7. Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice,⁸Hebrews 3:8. do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,⁹Hebrews 3:9. where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works.¹⁰Hebrews 3:10. Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’¹¹Hebrews 3:11. So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’”¹²Hebrews 3:12. See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.¹³Hebrews 3:13. But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.¹⁴Hebrews 3:14. We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.¹⁵Hebrews 3:15. As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.”¹⁶Hebrews 3:16. For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?¹⁷Hebrews 3:17. And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?¹⁸Hebrews 3:18. And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed?¹⁹Hebrews 3:19. So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter.
