Hebrews 3:1-13 ▼

1 WHEREFORE, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, contemplate the apostle and high-priest whom ye confess, Jesus Christ;

2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, as Moses also was in all his house.

3 For this personage hath been counted worthy of higher glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built it, hath greater honour than the house.

4 For every house is built by some person; but he who is the architect of all things is God.

5 And Moses indeed was faithful in all that house of his as a servant, to bear testimony of the things which should be after spoken;

6 but Christ as a son over his own house: whose house are we, if we hold firmly the confidence and glorying of hope stedfast unto the end.

7 Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

8 harden not your hearts, as in that bitter provocation, at the day of the temptation in the wilderness;

9 when your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works during forty years.

10 Wherefore I was provoked against that generation, and said, They are always deluded in heart, and they have not known my ways:

11 so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.

12 Take heed, brethren, that there be not in any one of you a wicked heart of infidelity, evident in departure from the living God:

13 but exhort one another daily, whilst to-day remains, that no one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
