Hebrews 3:1-13 ▼

1 Therefore, holy brothers, partners in a heavenly calling, keep your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.

2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was in all God's household,

3 because he is worthy of greater glory than Moses in the same way that the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.

4 After all, every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.

5 Moses was faithful in all God's household as a servant who was to testify to what would be said later,

6 but the Messiah was faithful as the Son in charge of God's household, and we are his household if we hold on to our courage and the hope in which we rejoice.

7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, |Today, if you hear his voice,

8 do not harden your hearts as they did when they provoked me during the time of testing in the wilderness.

9 There your ancestors tested me, even though they had seen my actions

10 for 40 years. That is why I was indignant with that generation and said, 'They are always going astray in their hearts, and they have not known my ways.'

11 So in my anger I swore a solemn oath that they would never enter my rest.|

12 See to it, my brothers, that no evil, unbelieving heart is found in any of you, as shown by your turning away from the living God.

13 Instead, continue to encourage one another every day, as long as it is called |Today,| so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin,
