Hebrews 3
- 1Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of [supplied: the] heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus,
- 2who is faithful to him that has constituted him, as Moses also in all his house.
- 3For *he* has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by how much he that has built it has more honour than the house.
- 4For every house is built by some one; but he who has built all things [supplied: is] God.
- 5And Moses indeed [supplied: was] faithful in all his house, as a ministering servant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken after;
- 6but Christ, as Son over his house, whose house are *we*, if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.
- 7Wherefore, even as says the Holy Spirit, To-day if ye will hear his voice,
- 8harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness;
- 9where your fathers tempted [supplied: me], by proving [supplied: me], and saw my works forty years.
- 10Wherefore I was wroth with this generation, and said, They always err in heart; and *they* have not known my ways;
- 11so I swore in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.
- 12See, brethren, lest there be in any one of you a wicked heart of unbelief, in turning away from [supplied: the] living God.
- 13But encourage yourselves each day, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
- 14For we are become companions of the Christ if indeed we hold the beginning of the assurance firm to the end;
- 15in that it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation;
- 16(for who was it, who, having heard, provoked? but [supplied: was it] not all who came out of Egypt by Moses?
- 17And with whom was he wroth forty years? [supplied: Was it] not with those who had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
- 18And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who had not hearkened to the word?
- 19And we see that they could not enter in on account of unbelief;)
