Hebrews 3

¹Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.

²He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.

³Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.

⁴For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.

⁵“Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,” [19] bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future.

⁶But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory.

⁷So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice,

⁸do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness,

⁹where your ancestors tested and tried me, though for forty years they saw what I did.

¹⁰That is why I was angry with that generation; I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.’

¹¹So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ” [20]

¹²See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.

¹³But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

¹⁴We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.

¹⁵As has just been said: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.” [21]

¹⁶Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?

¹⁷And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness?

¹⁸And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed?

¹⁹So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.
