Hebrews - 3

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.
