Hebrews 3
1 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, sharing in the heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession.
2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful throughout God’s house.
3 For he was considered worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.
4 For every house is built by someone, but God built everything.
5 Moses was faithful throughout God’s house as a servant, to testify to the things that would be spoken later.
6 But Christ is faithful as a Son over God’s house. And we are that house, if we hold firmly to the confidence and the pride of our hope to the end.
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice—
8 do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness.
9 There your ancestors put me to the test and tried me, and saw my works,
10 for forty years. So I was angry with that generation and said, ‘They are always wandering in their hearts, and they have not known my ways.’”
11 “As I swore in my anger: ‘They will not enter my rest.’”
12 Take care, brothers and sisters, that none of you has an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
13 Instead, encourage one another every day, while it is still called “today,” so that none of you is hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
14 For we have become partners with Christ, if indeed we hold firmly to the confidence we had at the beginning, to the end.
15 When it is said: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.”
16 For who were those who heard and rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt through Moses?
17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, except to those who disobeyed?
19 And we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
