| 1 | Wherefore , holy brethren , partakers of the heavenly calling , consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession , Christ Jesus ; |
| 2 | Who was faithful to him that appointed him , as also Moses [was faithful] in all his house . |
| 3 | For this [man] was counted worthy of more glory than Moses , inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house . |
| 4 | For every house is builded by some [man]; but he that built all things [is] God . |
| 5 | And Moses verily [was] faithful in all his house , as a servant , for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after ; |
| 6 | But Christ as a son over his own house ; whose house are we , if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end . |
| 7 | Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith , To day if ye will hear his voice , |
| 8 | Harden not your hearts , as in the provocation , in the day of temptation in the wilderness : |
| 9 | When your fathers tempted me , proved me , and saw my works forty years . |
| 10 | Wherefore I was grieved with that generation , and said , They do alway err in [their] heart ; and they have not known my ways . |
| 11 | So I sware in my wrath , They shall not enter into my rest .) |
| 12 | Take heed , brethren , lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief , in departing from the living God . |
| 13 | But exhort one another daily , while it is called To day ; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin . |
| 14 | For we are made partakers of Christ , if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end ; |
| 15 | While it is said , To day if ye will hear his voice , harden not your hearts , as in the provocation . |
| 16 | For some , when they had heard , did provoke : howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses . |
| 17 | But with whom was he grieved forty years ? [was it] not with them that had sinned , whose carcases fell in the wilderness ? |
| 18 | And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest , but to them that believed not ? |
| 19 | So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief . |
