| 1 | Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, [even] Jesus; |
| 2 | who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house. |
| 3 | For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honor than the house. |
| 4 | For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God. |
| 5 | And 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 as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end. |
| 7 | Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, |
| 8 | Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness, |
| 9 | Where your fathers tried [me] by proving [me,] And saw my works forty years. |
| 10 | Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways; |
| 11 | As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest. |
| 12 | Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall 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 To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin: |
| 14 | for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end: |
| 15 | while it is said, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. |
| 16 | For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses? |
| 17 | And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? |
| 18 | And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient? |
| 19 | And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief. |
