Hebrews 3
[1] Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus, [2] who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also Moses was in all his house. [3] For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who built the house has more honor than the house. [4] For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God. [5] Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken, [6] but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end. [7] Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says,
“Today if you will hear his voice,
[8] don’t harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
[9] where your fathers tested me and tried me,
and saw my deeds for forty years.
[10] Therefore I was displeased with that generation,
and said, ‘They always err in their heart,
but they didn’t know my ways.’
[11] As I swore in my wrath,
‘They will not enter into my rest.’ ” [12] Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God; [13] but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”, lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. [14] For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end, [15] while it is said,
“Today if you will hear his voice,
don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.” [16] For who, when they heard, rebelled? Wasn’t it all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? [17] With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? [18] To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient? [19] We see that they weren’t able to enter in because of unbelief.
