1 W herefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, even Jesus;

2 w ho was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.

3 F or 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.

4 F or every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God.

5 A nd Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken;

6 b ut 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.

7 W herefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice,

8 H arden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

9 W here your fathers tried me by proving me, And saw my works forty years.

10 W herefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways;

11 A s I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.

12 T ake heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God:

13 b ut 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:

14 f or we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end:

15 w hile it is said, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

16 F or who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses?

17 A nd with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

18 A nd to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient?

19 A nd we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
