[1] Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,
[2] who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house.
[3] For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house.
[4] For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.
[5] And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward,
[6] but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.
[7] Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you will hear His voice,
[8] Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness,
[9] Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, And saw My works forty years.
[10] Therefore I was angry with that generation, And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, And they have not known My ways.’
[11] So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”
[12] Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;
[13] but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
[14] For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,
[15] while it is said: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
[16] For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses?
[17] Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?
[18] And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?
[19] So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
