Jesus Our Apostle and High Priest

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of [the] heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus,

1

Jesus Our High Priest

Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession;

2

who is faithful to him that has constituted him, as Moses also in all his house.

2

He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house.

3

For *he* has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by how much he that has built it has more honour than the house.

3

For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house.

4

For every house is built by some one; but he who has built all things [is] God.

4

For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.

5

And Moses indeed [was] faithful in all his house, as a ministering servant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken after;

5

Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later;

6

but Christ, as Son over his house, whose house are *we*, if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.

6

but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house — whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.

7

Do Not Harden Your Hearts

Wherefore, even as says the Holy Spirit, To-day if ye will hear his voice,

7

Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says,
“TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,

8

harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness;

8

DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME,
AS IN THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS,

9

where your fathers tempted [me], by proving [me], and saw my works forty years.

9

WHERE YOUR FATHERS TRIED Me BY TESTING Me,
AND SAW MY WORKS FOR FORTY YEARS.

10

Wherefore I was wroth with this generation, and said, They always err in heart; and *they* have not known my ways;

10

“THEREFORE I WAS ANGRY WITH THIS GENERATION,
AND SAID, ‘THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART,
AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS’;

11

so I swore in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.

11

AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH,
‘THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.’”

12

The Dangers of Unbelief

See, brethren, lest there be in any one of you a wicked heart of unbelief, in turning away from [the] living God.

12

The Peril of Unbelief

Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.

13

But encourage yourselves each day, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

13

But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

14

For we are become companions of the Christ if indeed we hold the beginning of the assurance firm to the end;

14

For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end,

15

in that it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation;

15

while it is said,
“TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,
DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME.”

16

(for who was it, who, having heard, provoked? but [was it] not all who came out of Egypt by Moses?

16

For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

17

And with whom was he wroth forty years? [Was it] not with those who had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

17

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

18

And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who had not hearkened to the word?

18

And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient?

19

And we see that they could not enter in on account of unbelief;)

19

So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
