¹Brothers and sisters, you are holy partners in a heavenly calling. So look carefully at Jesus, the apostle and chief priest about whom we make our declaration of faith. ²Jesus is faithful to God, who appointed him, in the same way that Moses was faithful when he served in God’s house. ³Jesus deserves more praise than Moses in the same way that the builder of a house is praised more than the house. ⁴After all, every house has a builder, but the builder of everything is God.

⁵Moses was a faithful servant in God’s household. He told ⸤the people⸥ what God would say in the future. ⁶But Christ is a faithful son in charge of God’s household. We are his household if we continue to have courage and to be proud of the confidence we have.

⁷As the Holy Spirit says,

“If you hear God speak today, don’t be stubborn.

⁸Don’t be stubborn like those who rebelled

and tested me in the desert.

⁹That is where your ancestors tested me,

¹⁰although they had seen what I had done for 40 years.

That is why I was angry with those people. So I said,

‘Their hearts continue to stray,

and they have not learned my ways.’

¹¹So I angrily took a solemn oath

that they would never enter my place of rest.”

¹²Be careful, brothers and sisters, that none of you ever develop a wicked, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. ¹³Encourage each other every day while you have the opportunity. If you do this, none of you will be deceived by sin and become stubborn. ¹⁴After all, we will remain Christ’s partners only if we continue to hold on to our original confidence until the end.

¹⁵Scripture says,

“If you hear God speak today, don’t be stubborn.

Don’t be stubborn like those who rebelled.”

¹⁶Who heard God and rebelled? All those whom Moses led out of Egypt rebelled. ¹⁷With whom was God angry for 40 years? He was angry with those who sinned and died in the desert. ¹⁸Who did God swear would never enter his place of rest? He was talking about those who didn’t obey him. ¹⁹So we see that they couldn’t enter his place of rest because they didn’t believe.
