| 3:1 |
For this reason, holy brothers, marked out to have a part in heaven, give thought to Jesus the representative and high priest of our faith;
|
| 3:2 |
Who kept faith with God who gave him his place, even as Moses did in all his house.
|
| 3:3 |
And it was right for this man to have more honour than Moses, even as the builder of a house has more honour than the house.
|
| 3:4 |
For every house has a builder; but the builder of all things is God.
|
| 3:5 |
And Moses certainly kept faith as a servant, in all his house, and as a witness of those things which were to be said later;
|
| 3:6 |
But Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we keep our hearts fixed in the glad and certain hope till the end.
|
| 3:7 |
And so, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you let his voice come to your ears,
|
| 3:8 |
Be not hard of heart, as when you made me angry, on the day of testing in the waste land,
|
| 3:9 |
When your fathers put me to the test, and saw my works for forty years.
|
| 3:10 |
So that I was angry with this generation, and I said, Their hearts are in error at all times, and they have no knowledge of my ways;
|
| 3:11 |
And being angry I made an oath, saying, They may not come into my rest.
|
| 3:12 |
My brothers, take care that there is not by chance in any one of you an evil heart without belief, turning away from the living God:
|
| 3:13 |
But give comfort to one another every day as long as it is still Today; so that no one among you may be made hard by the deceit of sin:
|
| 3:14 |
For if we keep the substance of the faith which we had at the start, even till the end, we have a part with Christ;
|
| 3:15 |
As it is said, Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart, as when you made him angry.
|
| 3:16 |
Who made him angry when his voice came to them? was it not all those who came out of Egypt with Moses?
|
| 3:17 |
And with whom was he angry for forty years? was it not with those who did evil, who came to their deaths in the waste land?
|
| 3:18 |
And to whom did he make an oath that they might not come into his rest? was it not to those who went against his orders?
|
| 3:19 |
So we see that they were not able to go in because they had no belief.
