Jesus Our Apostle and High Priest

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

1

The Son Was Faithful

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

2

Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

2

who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also 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.

3

For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house.

4

For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

4

For every house is built by someone, but He who 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;

5

And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward,

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.

6

but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope [a]firm to the end.

7

Do Not Harden Your Hearts

Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

7

Be Faithful

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:
“Today, if you will 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 in the rebellion,
In the day of trial in the wilderness,

9

When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

9

Where your fathers tested Me, tried 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.

10

Therefore I was angry with that generation,
And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
And they have not known My ways.’

11

So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

11

So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”

12

The Dangers of Unbelief

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

12

Beware, 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.

13

but [b]exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” 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;

14

For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,

15

While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

15

while it is said:
“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

16

For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

16

Failure of the Wilderness Wanderers

For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led 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?

17

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

18

And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

18

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

19

So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

19

So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
