Hebrews 3

CHAPTER 3

Jesus Greater than Moses

¹Therefore, ^aholy brothers, partakers of a ^bheavenly calling, consider ^cthe Apostle and ^dHigh Priest of our ^econfession—Jesus,

²who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as ^aMoses also was in all His house.

^3aFor He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, in so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house.

⁴For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.

⁵Now ^aMoses was faithful in all His house as ^ba servant, ^cfor a testimony of those things ^dwhich were to be spoken later,

⁶but Christ was faithful as ^aa Son over His house—^bwhose house we are, ^cif we hold fast our ^dconfidence and the boast of our ^ehope.

⁷Therefore, just as ^athe Holy Spirit says,

“^bToday if you hear His voice,

^8aDo not harden your hearts as ¹when they provoked Me,

As in the day of trial in the wilderness,

^9aWhere your fathers tried Me by testing Me,

And saw My works for ^bforty years.

¹⁰“^aTherefore I was angry with this generation,

And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,

And they did not know My ways’;

^11aAs I swore in My wrath,

‘They shall not enter My rest.’”

Warning Against Unbelief

^12aSee to it brothers, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart ¹that falls away from ^bthe living God.

¹³But ^aencourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the ^bdeceitfulness of sin.

¹⁴For we have become partakers of Christ, ^aif we hold fast the beginning of our ^bassurance firm until the end,

¹⁵while it is said,

“^aToday if you hear His voice,

Do not harden your hearts, as ¹when they provoked Me.”

¹⁶For who ^aprovoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, ^bdid not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

¹⁷And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, ^awhose corpses fell in the wilderness?

¹⁸And to whom did He swear ^athat they would not enter His rest, but to those who were ^bdisobedient?

¹⁹So we see that they were not able to enter because of ^aunbelief.
