Chapter 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 1faithful 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 aend. |
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 | |
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 aend; |
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 1unbelief.
