Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus,
faithful as he was to him that appointed him, as also Moses in all his house.
For he hath been accounted worthy of more glory than Moses by how much he that built it hath more honour than the house.
For every house is builded by someone; but he that built all things [is] God.
And Moses indeed [was] faithful in all his house as an attendant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken,
but Christ as Son over his house, whose house are we if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of the hope firm unto the end.
Wherefore even as the Holy Spirit saith, Today, if ye will hear his voice,
harden not your hearts as in the provocation, through the day of temptation in the wilderness
when your fathers tempted [me], proved [me], and saw my works forty years.
Wherefore I was wroth with this generation and said, They always err in their heart, and they knew not my ways:
as I swore in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.
See, brethren, lest haply there shall be in anyone of you a wicked heart of unbelief in falling away from a living God.
But encourage yourselves each day while it is called Today, that none of you be hardened by [the] deceitfulness of sin.
For we are become companions of Christ if indeed we hold fast the beginning of the confidence firm unto the end.
In that it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts as in the provocation.
For who having heard provoked? But did not all that came out of Egypt by Moses?
And with whom was he wroth forty years? [Was it] not with those that sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
And to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest but to those that disobeyed?
And we see that they could not enter in on account of unbelief.
