Hebrews 3
New American Standard Bible 2020
Jesus Our High Priest
1ThereforeG3606, 1holyG40 brothersG80 and sisters, partakersG3353 of a 2heavenlyG2032 callingG2821, considerG2657 3the ApostleG652 and 4HighG749 PriestG749 of our 5confessionG3671: JesusG2424; 26He was faithfulG4103 to Him who appointedG4160 Him, as 7MosesG3475 alsoG2532 was in allG3650 His houseG3624. 38For He has been countedG515 worthyG515 of moreG4183 gloryG1391 thanG3844 MosesG3475, by justG2596 soG3745 muchG3745 as the builderG2680 of the houseG3624 hasG2192 moreG4183 honorG5092 than the houseG3624. 4For everyG3956 houseG3624 is builtG2680 by someoneG5100, but the builderG2680 of allG3956 thingsG3956 is GodG2316. 5NowG2532 9MosesG3475 was faithfulG4103 in allG3650 10God’s houseG3624 as 11a servantG2324, 12for a testimonyG3142 of thoseG3588 things 13which were to be spokenG2980 later; 6but ChristG5547 was faithful as 14a SonG5207 overG1909 His houseG3624--15whoseG3739 houseG3624 we are, 16ifG1437 we holdG2722 firmlyG2722 toG2722 our 17confidenceG3954 and the boastG2745 of our 1819hopeG1680.
7ThereforeG1352, justG2531 asG2531 20the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 saysG3004, “21TodayG4594 ifG1437 you hearG191 His voiceG5456,822Do not hardenG4645 your heartsG2588 as 23whenG1722 they provokedG3894 Me, As on the dayG2250 of trialG3986 in the wildernessG2048,924WhereG3757 your fathersG3962 putG3985 Me to the testG1381, And sawG3708 My worksG2041 for 25fortyG5065 yearsG2094.1026ThereforeG1352 I was angryG4360 with thisG3778 generationG1074, And saidG3004, ‘They alwaysG104 goG4105 astrayG4105 in their heartG2588, And they did not knowG1097 My waysG3598’;1127As I sworeG3660 in My angerG3709, ‘They certainlyG1487 shall not enterG1525 My restG2663.’”
The Danger of Unbelief
1228TakeG991 careG991, brothersG80 and sisters, that there will not be in anyG5100 oneG5100 of you an evilG4190, unbelievingG570 heartG2588 29that fallsG868 awayG868 from 30the livingG2198 GodG2316. 13But 31encourageG3870 oneG1438 anotherG1438 everyG1538G2596 dayG2250, as longG891 as it is still calledG2564 “todayG4594,” soG2443 thatG2443 noneG5100G1438 of you will be hardenedG4645 by the 32deceitfulnessG539 of sinG266. 14For we have becomeG1096 partakersG3353 of ChristG5547 33ifG1437G4007 we keepG2722 the beginningG746 of our 3435commitmentG5287 firmG949 untilG3360 the endG5056, 15whileG1722 it is saidG3004, “36TodayG4594 ifG1437 you hearG191 His voiceG5456, Do not hardenG4645 your heartsG2588, as 37whenG1722 they provokedG3894 Me.” 16For whoG5101 38provokedG3893 Him when they had heardG191? IndeedG235, 39did not allG3956 thoseG3588 whoG5101 cameG1831 outG1831 of EgyptG125 led by MosesG3475? 17And with whomG5101 was He angryG4360 for fortyG5065 yearsG2094? Was it not with thoseG3588 whoG5101 sinnedG264, 40whoseG3739 deadG2966 bodiesG2966 fellG4098 in the wildernessG2048? 18And to whomG5101 did He swearG3660 41that they would not enterG1525 His restG2663, but to thoseG3588 whoG5101 were 42disobedientG544? 19And so we seeG991 that they were not ableG1410 to enterG1525 becauseG1223 of 43unbeliefG570.
