Hebrews 3

¹Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, you who are partners in a heavenly calling, focus your attention on Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of the faith we acknowledge. ²He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as “Moses was faithful in all God’s house.” ³Yet Jesus has been deemed worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. ⁴For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. ⁵Moses was faithful in all God’s house as an attendant, to testify to the things that would be spoken in the future. ⁶But Christ is faithful as a Son over his house. And we are that house, if we hold fast to our fearless confidence and the hope in which we take pride.

⁷Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice, ⁸do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness, ⁹where your ancestors tested me by putting me to the proof, though they had seen my works ¹⁰for forty years. Therefore I was disgusted with that generation, and I said, ‘They always go astray in their heart; they have not known my ways.’ ¹¹As I swore in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”

¹²Watch out, brothers and sisters, so that there will not be in any of you an evil heart of faithlessness that falls away from the living God. ¹³Instead, encourage one another every day, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by the delusion of sin. ¹⁴For we have become partners with the Christ, if indeed we hold our initial foundation firm until the end. ¹⁵As it is said: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

¹⁶For who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? ¹⁷And with whom was he disgusted for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸And to whom did he swear that they would never enter his rest, if not to those who were disobedient? ¹⁹So we see that they were unable to enter because of their lack of trust.
