Hebrews 3

Jesus Our High Priest

1Therefore, 1holy brothers and sisters, partakers of a 2heavenly calling, consider 3the Apostle and 4High Priest of our 5confession: Jesus; 26He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as 7Moses also was in all His house. 38For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house. 4For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. 5Now 9Moses was faithful in all 10God’s house as 11a servant, 12for a testimony of those things 13which were to be spoken later; 6but Christ was faithful as 14a Son over His house--15whose house we are, 16if we hold firmly to our 17confidence and the boast of our 1819hope.

7Therefore, just as 20the Holy Spirit says, “21Today if you hear His voice,822Do not harden your hearts as 23when they provoked Me, As on the day of trial in the wilderness,924Where your fathers put Me to the test, And saw My works for 25forty years.1026Therefore I was angry with this generation, And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, And they did not know My ways’;1127As I swore in My anger, ‘They certainly shall not enter My rest.’”

The Danger of Unbelief

1228Take care, brothers and sisters, that there will not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart 29that falls away from 30the living God. 13But 31encourage one another every day, as long as it is still called “today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the 32deceitfulness of sin. 14For we have become partakers of Christ 33if we keep the beginning of our 3435commitment firm until the end, 15while it is said, “36Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts, as 37when they provoked Me.” 16For who 38provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, 39did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? 17And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, 40whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness? 18And to whom did He swear 41that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were 42disobedient? 19And so we see that they were not able to enter because of 43unbelief.
