Hebrews  


3 : 1 Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.
3 : 2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God`s house.
3 : 3 Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.
3 : 4 For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
3 : 5 Moses was faithful as a servant in all God`s house, testifying to what would be said in the future.
3 : 6 But Christ is faithful as a son over God`s house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast.
3 : 7 So, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you hear his voice,
3 : 8 do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the desert,
3 : 9 where your fathers tested and tried me and for forty years saw what I did.
3 : 10 That is why I was angry with that generation, and I said, `Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.`
3 : 11 So I declared on oath in my anger, `They shall never enter my rest.` "
3 : 12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
3 : 13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin`s deceitfulness.
3 : 14 We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first.
3 : 15 As has just been said: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion."
3 : 16 Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
3 : 17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert?
3 : 18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed?
3 : 19 So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.
