tcent Hebrews:3-4
tcent@Hebrews:3:1 @ Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.
tcent@Hebrews:3:2 @ He was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house.
tcent@Hebrews:3:3 @ 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.
tcent@Hebrews:3:4 @ For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.
tcent@Hebrews:3:5 @ Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later,
tcent@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. And we are his house, if we hold fast to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.
tcent@Hebrews:3:7 @ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:

tcent@Hebrews:3:12 @ Take care, brethren, lest there be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.
tcent@Hebrews:3:13 @ But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called »Today,« so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
tcent@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we have come to share in Christ if we hold our first confidence firm to the end,
tcent@Hebrews:3:15 @ while it is said,
tcent@Hebrews:3:16 @ Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
tcent@Hebrews:3:17 @ And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
tcent@Hebrews:3:18 @ And to whom did he swear that they would never enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
tcent@Hebrews:3:19 @ So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
tcent@Hebrews:4:1 @ Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest remains, let us fear lest any one of you be judged to have come short of it.
tcent@Hebrews:4:2 @ For we also have had the good news preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith.
tcent@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, although his works were finished from the foundation of the world.
tcent@Hebrews:4:4 @ For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: »And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.«
tcent@Hebrews:4:5 @ And again in this place he said, »They shall never enter my rest.«
tcent@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had the good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience,
tcent@Hebrews:4:7 @ God again set a certain day, »Today,« saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before,
tcent@Hebrews:4:8 @ For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later of another day.
tcent@Hebrews:4:9 @ So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God;
tcent@Hebrews:4:10 @ for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his.
tcent@Hebrews:4:11 @ Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same example of disobedience.
tcent@Hebrews:4:12 @ For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
tcent@Hebrews:4:13 @ And there is no creature hidden from his sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
tcent@Hebrews:4:14 @ Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
tcent@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
tcent@Hebrews:4:16 @ Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
tcent@Hebrews:5:1 @ For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
