*
Therefore ,
holy brethren ,
who share in a heavenly call ,
consider Jesus ,
the apostle and high priest of our confession .
*
He was faithful to him who appointed him ,
just as Moses also was faithful in God '
s house .
*
Yet Jesus has been counted worthy of as much more glory than Moses as the builder of a house has more honor than the house .
* (
For every house is built by some one ,
but the builder of all things is God .)
*
Now Moses was faithful in all God '
s house as a servant ,
to testify to the things that were to be spoken later ,
*
but Christ was faithful over God '
s house as a son .
And we are his house if we hold fast our confidence and pride in our hope .
*
Therefore ,
as the Holy Spirit says , "
Today ,
when you hear his voice ,
*
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion ,
on the day of testing in the wilderness ,
*
where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years .
*
Therefore I was provoked with that generation ,
and said , `
They always go astray in their hearts ;
they have not known my ways .'
*
As I swore in my wrath , `
They shall never enter my rest .'"
*
Take care ,
brethren ,
lest there be in any of you an evil ,
unbelieving heart ,
leading you to fall away from the living God .
*
But exhort one another every day ,
as long as it is called "
today ,"
that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin .
*
For we share in Christ ,
if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end ,
*
while it is said , "
Today ,
when you hear his voice ,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion ."
*
Who were they that heard and yet were rebellious ?
Was it not all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses ?
*
And with whom was he provoked forty years ?
Was it not with those who sinned ,
whose bodies fell in the wilderness ?
*
And to whom did he swear that they should never enter his rest ,
but to those who were disobedient ?
*
So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief .
