Hebrews:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Therefore ,
holy brethren ,
partakers of the heavenly calling ,
consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession ,
Christ Jesus ,
*
who was faithful to Him who appointed Him ,
as Moses also was faithful in all His house .
*
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 .
*
For every house is built by someone ,
but He who built all things is God .
*
And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant ,
for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward ,
*
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 firm to the end .
*
Therefore ,
as the Holy Spirit says : "
Today ,
if you will hear His voice ,
*
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion ,
In the day of trial in the wilderness ,
*
Where your fathers tested Me ,
tried Me ,
And saw My works forty years .
*
Therefore I was angry with that generation ,
And said , "
They always go astray in their heart ,
And they have not known My ways .'
*
So I swore in My wrath , "
They shall not enter My rest ."'
*
Beware ,
brethren ,
lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God ;
*
but exhort one another daily ,
while it is called "
Today ,"
lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin .
*
For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end ,
*
while it is said : "
Today ,
if you will hear His voice ,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion ."
*
For who ,
having heard ,
rebelled ?
Indeed ,
was it not all who came out of Egypt ,
led by Moses ?
*
Now with whom was He angry forty years ?
Was it not with those who sinned ,
whose corpses fell in the wilderness ?
*
And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest ,
but to those who did not obey ?
*
So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief .
