Hebrews 3

For this reason, holy brothers, marked out to have a part in heaven, give thought to Jesus the representative and high priest of our faith; | Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, [even] Jesus; |
Who kept faith with God who gave him his place, even as Moses did in all his house. | who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house. |
And it was right for this man to have more honour than Moses, even as the builder of a house has more honour than the house. | For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honor than the house. |
For every house has a builder; but the builder of all things is God. | For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God. |
And Moses certainly kept faith as a servant, in all his house, and as a witness of those things which were to be said later; | And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken; |
But Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we keep our hearts fixed in the glad and certain hope till the end. | but Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end. |
And so, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you let his voice come to your ears, | Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, |
Be not hard of heart, as when you made me angry, on the day of testing in the waste land, | Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness, |
When your fathers put me to the test, and saw my works for forty years. | Where your fathers tried [me] by proving [me,] And saw my works forty years. |
So that I was angry with this generation, and I said, Their hearts are in error at all times, and they have no knowledge of my ways; | Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways; |
And being angry I made an oath, saying, They may not come into my rest. | As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest. |
My brothers, take care that there is not by chance in any one of you an evil heart without belief, turning away from the living God: | Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God: |
But give comfort to one another every day as long as it is still Today; so that no one among you may be made hard by the deceit of sin: | but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin: |
For if we keep the substance of the faith which we had at the start, even till the end, we have a part with Christ; | for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end: |
As it is said, Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart, as when you made him angry. | while it is said, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. |
Who made him angry when his voice came to them? was it not all those who came out of Egypt with Moses? | For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses? |
And with whom was he angry for forty years? was it not with those who did evil, who came to their deaths in the waste land? | And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? |
And to whom did he make an oath that they might not come into his rest? was it not to those who went against his orders? | And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient? |
So we see that they were not able to go in because they had no belief. | And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief. |
