| 1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider
the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, even Jesus; 2 who
was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.
3 For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as
he that built the house hath more honor than the house. 4 For every house
is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God. 5 And 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 as a son, over his
house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of
our hope firm unto the end. 7 Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit
saith,
To-day if ye shall hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation,
Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
9 Where your fathers tried me by proving me,
And saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was displeased with this generation,
And said, They do always err in their heart:
But they did not know my ways;
11 As I sware in my wrath,
They shall not enter into my rest.
12 Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall 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 To-day; lest any one of you
be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin: 14 for we are become partakers of
Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end:
15 while it is said,
To-day if ye shall hear his voice,
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came
out of Egypt by Moses? 17 And with whom was he displeased forty years? was
it not with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And
to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that
were disobedient? 19 And we see that they were not able to enter in
because of unbelief.
