¹ Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,
² who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house.
³ For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house.
⁴ For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.
⁵ And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward,
⁶ but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.
⁷ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you will hear His voice,
⁸ Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness,
⁹ Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, And saw My works forty years.
¹⁰ Therefore I was angry with that generation, And said, "They always go astray in their heart, And they have not known My ways.'
¹¹ So I swore in My wrath, "They shall not enter My rest."'
¹² Beware, 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 "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
¹⁴ For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,
¹⁵ while it is said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."
¹⁶ For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses?
¹⁷ Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?
¹⁸ And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?
¹⁹ So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
