1 And so, dear brothers and sisters who belong to God and are partners with those called to heaven, think carefully about this Jesus whom we declare to be God’s messenger and High Priest. 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 For he was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses served faithfully when he was entrusted with God’s entire 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 But Jesus deserves far more glory than Moses, just as a person who builds a house deserves more praise than the house itself. 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 has a builder, but the one who built everything 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 Moses was certainly faithful in God’s house as a servant. His work was an illustration of the truths God would reveal later. 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 the Son, is in charge of God’s entire house. And we are God’s house, if we keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ. 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 That is why the Holy Spirit says, “Today when you 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 don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled, when they tested me 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 There your ancestors tested and tried my patience, even though they saw my miracles for 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 So I was angry with them, and I said, ‘Their hearts always turn away from me. They refuse to do what I tell them.’ 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 in my anger I took an oath: ‘They will never enter my place of 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 Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away 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 You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. 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 if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ. 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 Remember what it says: “Today when you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled.” 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 And who was it who rebelled against God, even though they heard his voice? Wasn’t it the people Moses led out of Egypt? 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 And who made God angry for forty years? Wasn’t it the people who sinned, whose corpses 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 to whom was God speaking when he took an oath that they would never enter his rest? Wasn’t it the people who disobeyed him? 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 because of their unbelief they were not able to enter his rest. 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.
