1 ) Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,
-
2 ) Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
-
3 ) For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built the house has more honour than the house.
-
4 ) For every house is built by some man, but he that built all things is God.
-
5 ) And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after,
-
6 ) But Christ as a son over his own house, whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
-
7 ) Wherefore (as the Holy Spirit says, To day if all of you will hear his voice,
-
8 ) Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
-
9 ) When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
-
10 ) Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always go astray in their heart, and they have not known my ways.
-
11 ) So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
-
12 ) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
-
13 ) But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
-
14 ) For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end,
-
15 ) While it is said, To day if all of you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
-
16 ) For some, when they had heard, did provoke: nevertheless not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
-
17 ) But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
-
18 ) And to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
-
19 ) So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
