1 W herefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the apostle and chief priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,

Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;

2 b eing stedfast to Him who did appoint him, as also Moses in all his house,

who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.

3 f or of more glory than Moses hath this one been counted worthy, inasmuch as more honour than the house hath he who doth build it,

For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who built the house has more honor than the house.

4 f or every house is builded by some one, and He who the all things did build God,

For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.

5 a nd Moses indeed stedfast in all his house, as an attendant, for a testimony of those things that were to be spoken,

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

6 a nd Christ, as a Son over his house, whose house are we, if the boldness and the rejoicing of the hope unto the end we hold fast.

but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house; whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

7 W herefore, (as the Holy Spirit saith, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear --

Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice,

8 y e may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of the temptation in the wilderness,

don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

9 i n which tempt Me did your fathers, they did prove Me, and saw My works forty years;

where your fathers tested me by proving me, and saw my deeds for forty years.

10 w herefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, Always do they go astray in heart, and these have not known My ways;

Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they didn’t know my ways;’

11 s o I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest --!')

as I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’”

12 S ee, brethren, lest there shall be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God,

Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;

13 b ut exhort ye one another every day, while the To-day is called, that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of the sin,

but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

14 f or partakers we have become of the Christ, if the beginning of the confidence unto the end we may hold fast,

For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:

15 i n its being said, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear, ye may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation,'

while it is said, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.”

16 f or certain having heard did provoke, but not all who did come out of Egypt through Moses;

For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, didn’t all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?

17 b ut with whom was He grieved forty years? was it not with those who did sin, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

18 a nd to whom did He swear that they shall not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe? --

To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

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

We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
