Hebrews 3

Jesus Greater Than Moses

1 Therefore, holy brothers,t 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'st 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.t

A Rest for the People of God

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 for forty years.
10  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 have come to 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.

Hebrews 3

1 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.3 For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built the house has more honor than the house.4 For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.5 Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,6 but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house; whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

7 Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says,

“Today if you will hear his voice,
8 don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion,
like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
9 where your fathers tested me by proving me,
and saw my works for forty years.
10 Therefore I was displeased with that generation,
and said, ‘They always err in their heart,
but they didn’t know my ways;’
11 as I swore in my wrath,
‘They will not enter into my rest.’”t
12 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;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.14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:

15 while it is said,

“Today if you will hear his voice,
don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.”t
16 For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, didn’t all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?17 With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?18 To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

19 We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
