The Epistle to the Hebrews
3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, even Jesus; 3:2who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house. 3:3For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honor than the house. 3:4For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God. 3:5And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken; 3:6but Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end. 3:7Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith,
To-day if ye shall hear his voice,
3:8Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation,
Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
3:9Where your fathers tried me by proving me,
And saw my works forty years.
3:10Wherefore I was displeased with this generation,
And said, They do always err in their heart:
But they did not know my ways;
3:11As I sware in my wrath,
They shall not enter into my rest.
3:12Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God: 3:13but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin: 3:14for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end: 3:15while it is said,
To-day if ye shall hear his voice,
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
3:16For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of
Egypt by Moses? 3:17And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not
with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 3:18And to whom sware
he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient?
3:19And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
