1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high-priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; 2 who was faithful to Him that appointed Him, as Moses also was in all his house. 3 For He was accounted worthy of more honor than Moses, as he who hath built it, hath more honor than the house. 4 For every house is built by some one: and He who built all things is God. 5 Now Moses was indeed faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of the things which were to be spoken: 6 but Christ as a Son over his own house; whose house we are, if we maintain the free profession and exultation of hope firm unto the end. 7 Therefore, as the holy Ghost saith, "To-day if ye will hear his voice, 8 harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness, when your fathers tempted me, 9 proved me, and saw my works forty years: 10 wherefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, They are always erring in their heart, and they have not known my ways: 11 so I sware in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest." 12 Take heed, my brethren, least there be in any of you a wicked heart of unbelief in departing from the living God: 13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called to-day; that none of you may be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin: Hebrews 3:1-13, Worsley New Testament.
