1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
-
2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
-
3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
-
4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
-
5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
-
6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
-
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
-
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
-
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
-
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
-
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
-
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
-
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
-
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
-
15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
-
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
-
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
-
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
-
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

- 1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession;
- 2 He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house.
- 3 For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house.
- 4 For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.
- 5 Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later;
- 6 but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.
- 7 Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, “TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,
- 8 DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME, AS IN THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS,
- 9 WHERE YOUR FATHERS TRIED Me BY TESTING Me, AND SAW MY WORKS FOR FORTY YEARS.
- 10 “THEREFORE I WAS ANGRY WITH THIS GENERATION, AND SAID, 'THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART, AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS';
- 11 AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, 'THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.'”
- 12 Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.
- 13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
- 14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end,
- 15 while it is said, “TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME.”
- 16 For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?
- 17 And with whom was He angry 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 not able to enter because of unbelief.
