Therefore, aholy
brethren
, partakers
of a bheavenly
calling
, consider
Jesus
, cthe Apostle
and dHigh
Priest
of our econfession
;
1He was faithful to Him who appointed
Him, as aMoses
also
was in all
His house
.
aFor He has been counted worthy
of more
glory
than
Moses
, by just
so
much
as the builder
of the house
has
more
honor
than the house
.
For every house
is built
by someone
, but the builder
of all
things
is God
.
Now aMoses
was faithful
in all
His house
as ba servant
, cfor a testimony
of those
things dwhich were to be spoken
later;
but 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
firm
until
the end
.
Therefore, just
as athe Holy
Spirit
says
, " bTODAY
IF
YOU HEAR
HIS VOICE
,
aDO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS
AS 1WHEN
THEY PROVOKED
ME, AS IN THE DAY
OF TRIAL
IN THE WILDERNESS
,
aWHERE YOUR FATHERS
TRIED
Me BY TESTING
Me, AND SAW
MY WORKS
FOR bFORTY
YEARS
.
" aTHEREFORE I WAS ANGRY
WITH THIS
GENERATION
, AND SAID
, `THEY ALWAYS
GO
ASTRAY
IN THEIR HEART
, AND THEY DID NOT KNOW
MY WAYS
';
aAS I SWORE IN MY WRATH
, `THEY SHALL NOT ENTER
MY REST
.' "
aTake care
, brethren
, that there not be in any
one
of you an evil
, unbelieving
heart
1that falls
away
from bthe living
God
.
But 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
.
For we have become partakers
of Christ
, aif
we hold
fast
the beginning
of our bassurance
firm
until
the end
,
while it is said
, " aTODAY
IF
YOU HEAR
HIS VOICE
, DO NOT HARDEN
YOUR HEARTS
, AS 1WHEN
THEY PROVOKED
ME."
For who aprovoked
Him when they had heard
? Indeed
, bdid not all
those
who
came
out of Egypt
led by Moses
?
And with whom was He angry
for forty
years
? Was it not with those
who
sinned
, awhose
bodies
fell
in the wilderness
?
And to whom did He swear
athat they would not enter
His rest
, but to those
who
were bdisobedient
?
So we see that they were not able
to enter
because
of aunbelief
.
