Hebrews 3:1

Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.

Hebrews 3:2

He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.

Hebrews 3:3

For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.

Hebrews 3:4

And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.

Hebrews 3:5

Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later.

Hebrews 3:6

But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.

Hebrews 3:7

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice,

Hebrews 3:8

do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,

Hebrews 3:9

where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works.

Hebrews 3:10

Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’

Hebrews 3:11

So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’”

Hebrews 3:12

See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.

Hebrews 3:13

But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

Hebrews 3:14

We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.

Hebrews 3:15

As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.”

Hebrews 3:16

For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?

Hebrews 3:17

And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

Hebrews 3:18

And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed?

Hebrews 3:19

So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter.
