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 a heavenly calling, consider the apostle and chief priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,

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

2being stedfast to Him who did appoint him, as 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 of more glory than Moses hath this one been counted worthy, inasmuch as more honour than the house hath he who doth build it,

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

4for every house is builded by some one, and He who the all things did build <FI>is<Fi> 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 <FI>was<Fi> stedfast in all his house, as an attendant, for a testimony of those things that were to be spoken,

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.

6and 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

11so I sware in My anger, 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.

12See, brethren, lest there shall be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away 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 ye one another every day, while the To-day is called, that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of the sin,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 shall not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe? --

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

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