Hebrews 3

1ThereforeG3606, holyG40 brothersG80, who shareG3353 in the heavenlyG2032 callingG2821, set your focus onG2657 JesusG2424, theG3588 apostleG652 andG2532 high priestG749 whom weG1473 confessG3671. 2He wasG1510 faithfulG4103 to theG3588 One who appointedG4160 HimG846, just asG5613 MosesG3475 was faithful inG1722 allG3650 God’s houseG3624.1

3ForG1063 Jesus has been counted worthyG515 of greaterG4119 gloryG1391 thanG3844 MosesG3475, justG2596 asG3745 theG3588 builderG2680 of a house hasG2192 greaterG4119 honorG5092 than theG3588 houseG3624 itself. 4AndG1063 everyG3956 houseG3624 is builtG2680 byG5259 someoneG5100, butG1161 GodG2316 is theG3588 builderG2680 of everythingG3956.

5NowG2532G3303 MosesG3475 was faithfulG4103 asG5613 a servantG2324 inG1722 allG3650 God’s houseG3624,2 testifyingG1519G3142 to whatG3588 would be spoken laterG2980. 6ButG1161 ChristG5547 is faithful asG5613 the SonG5207 overG1909 God’s houseG3624. And weG1473 areG1510 His houseG3624, ifG1437 we hold firmlyG27223 toG3588 our confidenceG3954 andG2532 theG3588 hopeG1680 of which we boastG2745.

Do Not Harden Your Hearts

(Psalm 95:1–11)

7ThereforeG1352, asG2531 theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151 saysG3004:

“TodayG4594, ifG1437 you hearG191 HisG846 voiceG5456,8do notG3361 hardenG4645 yourG4771 heartsG2588,asG5613 you did inG1722 theG3588 rebellionG3894,inG2596 theG3588 dayG2250 of testingG3986 inG1722 theG3588 wildernessG2048,9whereG3757 yourG4771 fathersG3962 testedG3985 and triedG1382 Me,andG2532 for fortyG5062 yearsG2094 sawG3708 MyG1473 worksG2041.10ThereforeG1352 I was angryG4360 withG3588 thatG3778 generationG1074,andG2532 I saidG2036,‘TheirG846 heartsG2588 are alwaysG104 going astrayG4105,andG1161 they have not knownG3756G1097 MyG1473 waysG3598.’11SoG5613 I swore on oathG3660 inG1722 MyG1473 angerG3709,‘They shall never enterG1487G1525G1519 MyG1473 restG2663.’”4

The Peril of Unbelief

12See to itG991, brothersG80, that none of youG4771 hasG1510 a wickedG4190 heartG2588 of unbeliefG570 that turns awayG1722G3588G868 fromG575 the livingG2198 GodG2316. 13ButG235 exhortG3870 one anotherG1438G2596 dailyG1538G2250, as long asG891 it is calledG2564 todayG4594, so thatG2443 noneG3361G5100 ofG1537 youG4771 may be hardenedG4645 by sin’sG266 deceitfulnessG539.

14

We have comeG1096 to shareG3353 in ChristG5547 ifG1437 we holdG2722 firmlyG949 toG3360 the endG5056 theG3588 assuranceG5287 we had at firstG746. 15AsG1722 it has been saidG3004:

“TodayG4594, ifG1437 you hearG191 HisG846 voiceG5456,do notG3361 hardenG4645 yourG4771 heartsG2588,asG5613 you did inG1722 theG3588 rebellionG3894.”5

16ForG1063 who were the ones whoG5101 heardG191 and rebelledG3893? Were they notG3756 allG3956 thoseG3588 MosesG3475 ledG1223 out ofG1537 EgyptG125? 17AndG1161 with whomG5101 was God angryG4360 for fortyG5062 yearsG2094? Was it notG3780 with those whoG3588 sinnedG264, whoseG3739 bodiesG2966 fellG4098 inG1722 theG3588 wildernessG2048? 18AndG1161 to whomG5101 did He swearG3660 that they would never enterG3361G1525G1519 HisG846 restG2663? Was it notG3361 to those whoG3588 disobeyedG544? 19So we seeG991 thatG3754 it was because ofG1223 their unbeliefG570 that they were unableG3756G1410 to enterG1525.
