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

3:2  He remained faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also remained faithful in all His house.

3:3  For we count Him worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house.

3:4  For someone builds every house, but God builds all things.

3:5  Now Moses remained faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which became spoken later;

3:6   but Christ remained faithful as a Son over His house-- whose house we have become, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.

3:7  Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, "TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,

3:8  DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME, AS IN THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS,

3:9  WHERE YOUR FATHERS TRIED Me BY TESTING Me, AND SAW MY WORKS FOR FORTY YEARS.

3:10  "THEREFORE I BECAME ANGRY WITH THIS GENERATION, AND SAID, 'THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART, AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS';

3:11  AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, 'THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.'"

3:12  Take care, brethren, that there not exist in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.

3:13  But encourage one another day after day, as long as still acknowledge "Today," so that none of you will become hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

3:14  For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end,

3:15  while the scripture says, "TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME."

3:16  For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

3:17  And with whom did He become angry for forty years? Did it not occur with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

3:18  And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who disobeyed?

3:19  So we see that they could not enter because of unbelief.
