The Son Was Faithful

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

1

Jesus Our Apostle and High Priest

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

2

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

2

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

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.

4

For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.

4

For every house is built by some one; but he who has 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 would be spoken afterward,

5

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

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.

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.

7

Be Faithful

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:
“Today, if you will hear His voice,

7

Do Not Harden Your Hearts

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

8

Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
In the day of trial in the wilderness,

8

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

9

Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,
And saw My works forty years.

9

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

10

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

10

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

11

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

11

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

12

Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;

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.

13

but [b]exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

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.

14

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

14

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

15

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

15

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

16

Failure of the Wilderness Wanderers

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

16

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

17

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

17

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

18

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

18

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

19

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

19

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