Hebrews 3

1Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of [the] heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus,

1Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus:

2who is faithful to him that has constituted him, as Moses also in all his house.

2Who is faithful to him that made him, as was also Moses in all his house.

3For he has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by how much he that has built it has more honour than the house.

3For this man was counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as he that hath built the house hath greater honour than the house.

4For every house is built by some one; but he who has built all things [is]God.

4For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things is God.

5And Moses indeed [was] faithful in all his house, as a ministering servant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken after;

5And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be said:

6but Christ, as Son over his house, whose house are we, if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.

6But Christ, as the Son in his own house: which house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and glory of hope unto the end.

7Wherefore, even as says the Holy Spirit, To-day if ye will hear his voice,

7Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith: To-day if you shall hear his voice,

8harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness;

8Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the desert,

9where your fathers tempted [me], by proving [me], and saw my works forty years.

9Where your fathers tempted me, proved and saw my works,

10Wherefore I was wroth with this generation, and said, They always err in heart; and they have not known my ways;

10Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I said: They always err in heart. And they have not known my ways.

11so I swore in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.

11As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest.

12See, brethren, lest there be in any one of you a wicked heart of unbelief, in turning away from [the] livingGod.

12Take heed, brethren, lest perhaps there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God.

13But encourage yourselves each day, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

13But exhort one another every day, whilst it is called to day, that none of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14For we are become companions of the Christ if indeed we hold the beginning of the assurance firm to the end;

14For we are made partakers of Christ: yet so, if we hold the beginning of his substance firm unto the end.

15in that it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation;

15While it is said: To day, if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in that provocation.

16(for who was it, who, having heard, provoked? but [was it] not all who came out of Egypt by Moses?

16For some who heard did provoke: but not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

17And with whom was he wroth forty years? [Was it] not with those who had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

17And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert?

18And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who had not hearkened to the word?

18And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous?

19And we see that they could not enter in on account of unbelief;)

19And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.
