Hebrews 3:15
Compare all
13 but1 exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.  
14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,
15 while it is said:
a“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”  

Failure of the Wilderness Wanderers

16 aFor who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses?  
17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, awhose corpses fell in the wilderness?  
18 And ato whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?

Hebrews 3:15

While it is said, Today ... - That is, persevere as long as life lasts, or as long as it can be said "today;" and by persevering in this manner you will have evidence that you are the friends of the Redeemer. This is a quotation from Psalms 95:7. Paul means, undoubtedly, to make use of this language himself as a direct exhortation to the Christians to whom he was writing. He entreats them, therefore, as long as it could be said "today," or as long as life lasted, to take care lest they should harden their hearts as had been done in the temptation in the wilderness.
