Hebrews 3:1
Therefore, holy brethren, sharers with others in a heavenly invitation, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and High Priest whose followers we profess to be.
Hebrews 3:2
How faithful He was to Him who appointed Him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God’s house!
Hebrews 3:3
For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, in so far as he who has built a house has higher honour than the house itself.
Hebrews 3:4
For every house has had a builder, and the builder of all things is God.
Hebrews 3:5
Moreover, Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant in delivering the message given him to speak;
Hebrews 3:6
but Christ was faithful as a Son having authority over God’s house, and we are that house, if we hold firm to the End the boldness and the hope which we boast of as ours.
Hebrews 3:7
For this reason–as the Holy spirit warns us, <“To-day, if you hear His voice,
Hebrews 3:8
do not harden your hearts as your forefathers did in the time of the provocation on the day of the temptation in the Desert,
Hebrews 3:9
where your forefathers so sorely tried My patience and saw all that I did during forty years.
Hebrews 3:10
Therefore I was greatly grieved with that generation, and I said, `They are ever going astray in heart, and have not learnt to know My paths.’
Hebrews 3:11
As I swore in My anger, they shall not be admitted to My rest” –>
Hebrews 3:12
see to it, brethren, that there is never in any one of you–as perhaps there may be–a sinful and unbelieving heart, manifesting itself in revolt from the ever-living God.
Hebrews 3:13
On the contrary encourage one another, day after day, so long as To-day lasts, so that not one of you may be hardened through the deceitful character of sin.
Hebrews 3:14
For we have, all alike, become sharers with Christ, if we really hold our first confidence firm to the End;
Hebrews 3:15
seeing that the warning still comes to us, <“To-day, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as your forefathers did in the time of the provocation.”>
Hebrews 3:16
For who were they that heard, and yet provoked God? Was it not the whole of the people who had come out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses?
Hebrews 3:17
And with whom was God so greatly grieved for forty years? Was it not with those who had sinned, and whose dead bodies fell in the Desert?
Hebrews 3:18
And to whom did He swear that they should not be admitted to His rest, if it was not to those who were disobedient?
Hebrews 3:19
And so we see that it was owing to lack of faith that they could not be admitted.
