RSV Hebrews 3 Chapter
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
3:1
Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly call, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.
3:2
He was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in God's house.
3:3
Yet Jesus has been counted worthy of as much more glory than Moses as the builder of a house has more honor than the house.
3:4
(For every house is built by some one, but the builder of all things is God.)
3:5
Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later,
3:6
but Christ was faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house if we hold fast our confidence and pride in ourhope.
3:7
Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, 'Today, when you hear his voice,
3:8
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness,
3:9
where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years.
3:10
Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, They always go astray in their hearts;they have not known my ways.'
3:11
As I swore in my wrath, They shall never enter my rest.''
3:12
Take care, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.
3:13
But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called 'today,' that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
3:14
For we share in Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end,
3:15
while it is said, 'Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.'
3:16
Who were they that heard and yet were rebellious? Was it not all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses?
3:17
And with whom was he provoked forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
3:18
And to whom did he swear that they should never enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
3:19
So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
