Hebrews 3 [Commentary] [Map] 
|
| 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. |
