Hebrews 3

Moses Was Faithful as a Servant; Christ as a Son

Jesus Greater Than Moses

3:1Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus,

3:2who is faithful to the One who appointed Him, as Moses also was in His house.

3:3For He has been considered worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the one who constructs a house has greater honor than the house.

3:4For every house is constructed by someone, but the One who constructed all things is God.

3:5And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as an attendant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken,

3:6but Christ as a Son over His house. We are that house if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope.

3:7Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, “Today, if you hear His voice,

3:8do not harden your hearts as in the provocation, on the day of testing in the wilderness,

3:9where your fathers tested Me with a trial and saw My works

3:10for forty years. Therefore I was indignant with this generation and said, ‘They always wander in their heart, and they did not know My ways,’

3:11as I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall certainly not enter My rest.’”

3:12Watch out, brothers, lest there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

3:13But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by the deceit of sin.

3:14For we have become partakers of Christ if indeed we hold firm the beginning of our confidence until the end,

3:15while it is said, “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the provocation.”

3:16For who, having heard, provoked Him? Was it not all who came out of Egypt through Moses?

3:17And with whom was He indignant for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

3:18And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, except those who disobeyed?

3:19And we see that they could not enter because of unbelief.
