Context of Hebrews 3:2
1Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of [the] heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus, who 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 [is] God.
