1 FROM henceforth, O my holy brethren, called by a call from heaven, look to this Apostle and High Priest of our faith, Jesus Christ: Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.
2 Who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also Moses was faithful to all his house. who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God’s house. He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.
3 The glory of Jesus is much greater than that of Moses, just as the honor of the builder of the house is greater than the house. For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.
4 For every house is built by some man; but he who builds all things is God. (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
5 And Moses, as a servant, was faithful to all his house, and was a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; Now Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, “Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,” bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future.
6 But Christ, as a son, over his own house, whose house we are, if to the end we hold fast with confidence to the glory of his hope. but Christ is faithful over God’s house as a son. And we are his house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope. But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory.
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit said, Today if you will hear his voice, Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, “Today, if you hear his voice, So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts to provoke him, as the murmurers did in the day of temptation in the wilderness: do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness,
9 Your fathers tempted me even though they examined and saw my works forty years. where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years. where your ancestors tested and tried me, though for forty years they saw what I did.
10 Therefore I was not pleased with that generation, and said, These are a people whose hearts have been misled and they have not known my ways. Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart; they have not known my ways.’ That is why I was angry with that generation; I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.’
11 So I swore in my anger, They shall not enter into my rest. As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest.’” So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”
12 Take heed therefore, my brethren, lest perhaps there is a man among you who has an evil heart and is not a believer, and you will be cut off from the living God. Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
13 But search your hearts daily, until the day which is called, The day; to the end that no man among you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if from the beginning to the very end we hold steadfast to this true covenant, For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.
15 As it is said, Today, if you hear even the echoes of his voice, do not harden your hearts to anger him. As it is said, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” As has just been said: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.”
16 Who are those who have heard and provoked him? Were they not those who came out of Egypt under Moses, although not all of them? For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
17 But with whom was he displeased for forty years? Was it not especially with those who had sinned and whose bones lay in the wilderness? And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness?
18 And against whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, except against those who did not listen? And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because they did not believe. So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief. So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.
