Chapter 3
|
1
|
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly
calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our
profession, Christ Jesus; |
2
|
Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also
Moses was faithful in all his house. |
3
|
For this man was counted worthy of more glory than
Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath
more honour than the house. |
4
|
For every house is builded by some man; but he that
built all things is God. |
5
|
And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as
a servant, for a testimony of those things which were
to be spoken after; |
6
|
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house
are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing
of the hope firm unto the end. |
7
|
Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will
hear his voice, |
8
|
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the
day of temptation in the wilderness: |
9
|
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my
works forty years. |
10
|
Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said,
They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known
my ways. |
11
|
So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my
rest.) |
12
|
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an
evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living
God. |
13
|
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To
day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness
of sin. |
14
|
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the
beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; |
15
|
While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice,
harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. |
16
|
For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit
not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. |
17
|
But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not
with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the
wilderness? |
18
|
And to whom sware he that they should not enter into
his rest, but to them that believed not? |
19
|
So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. |
