| Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession; | |
| He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house. | |
| 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. | |
| For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. | |
| Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later; | |
| 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. | |
| Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, "TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, | |
| DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME, AS IN THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS, | |
| WHERE YOUR FATHERS TRIED {Me} BY TESTING {Me,} AND SAW MY WORKS FOR FORTY YEARS. | |
| "THEREFORE I WAS ANGRY WITH THIS GENERATION, AND SAID, 'THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART, AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS'; | |
| AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, 'THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.' " | |
| Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. | |
| 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. | |
| For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end, | |
| while it is said, "TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME." | |
| For who provoked {Him} when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt {led} by Moses? | |
| And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? | |
| And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient? | |
| {So} we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief. |
