3:1  Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, `even' Jesus;

3:2  who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.

3:3  For 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.

3:4  For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God.

3:5  And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken;

3:6  but 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.

3:7  Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice,

3:8  Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

3:9  Where your fathers tried `me' by proving `me,' And saw my works forty years.

3:10  Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways;

3:11  As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.

3:12  Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God:

3:13  but 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:

3:14  for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end:

3:15  while it is said, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

3:16  For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses?

3:17  And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

3:18  And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient?

3:19  And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
