[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. appointed: Gr. made
[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.) They...: Gr. If they shall enter
[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.
