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

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

3:3  For He has been counted 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 every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.

3:5  Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later;

3:6  but Christ {was faithful} as a Son over His house--whose house we are, 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 WAS 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 be 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 it is {still} called "Today, so that none of you will be 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 it is said, "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 was He angry for forty years? Was it not 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 were disobedient?

3:19  {So} we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
