1Wherefore , holy brethren , partakers of a heavenly calling , consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession , even Jesus ; 2who was faithful to him that appointed him , as also was Moses in all his house . 3For 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 . 4For every house is builded by some one ; but he that built all things is God . 5And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant , for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken ; 6but 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 .
Warning Against Unbelief
7Wherefore , even as the Holy Spirit saith , To-day if ye shall hear his voice , 8Harden not your hearts , as in the provocation , Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness , 9Where your fathers tried me by proving me , And saw my works forty years . 10Wherefore I was displeased with this generation , And said , They do always err in their heart : But they did not know my ways ; 11As I sware in my wrath , They shall not enter into my rest . 12Take heed, brethren , lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God : 13but 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: 14for we are become partakers of Christ , if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end : 15while it is said , To-day if ye shall hear his voice , Harden not your hearts , as in the provocation . 16For who , when they heard, did provoke ? nay , did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses ? 17And with whom was he displeased forty years ? was it not with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness ? 18And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest , but to them that were disobedient? 19And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
