Hebrews 3:1-11 ▼

1 Therefore, holy “brothers,” sharing in a heavenly calling, reflect on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,

2 who was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was “faithful in [all] his house.”

3 But he is worthy of more “glory” than Moses, as the founder of a house has more “honor” than the house itself.

4 Every house is founded by someone, but the founder of all is God.

5 Moses was “faithful in all his house” as a “servant” to testify to what would be spoken,

6 but Christ was faithful as a son placed over his house. We are his house, if [only] we hold fast to our confidence and pride in our hope.

7 Therefore, as the holy Spirit says: “Oh, that today you would hear his voice,

8 ‘Harden not your hearts as at the rebellion in the day of testing in the desert,

9 where your ancestors tested and tried me and saw my works

10 for forty years. Because of this I was provoked with that generation and I said, “They have always been of erring heart, and they do not know my ways.”

11 As I swore in my wrath, “They shall not enter into my rest.”’”
