- 1. ¶ FROM henceforth, O my holy brethren, called by a call from heaven, look to this Apostle and High Priest of our faith, Jesus Christ,
- 2. Who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also Moses was faithful to all his house.
- 3. The glory of Jesus is much greater than that of Moses, just as the honor of the builder of the house is greater than the house itself.
- 4. For every house is built by some man; but he who builds all things is God.
- 5. And Moses as a servant was faithful to all his house, and was a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
- 6. But Christ as a son over his own house, whose house we are, if to the end we hold fast with confidence to the glory of his hope.
- 7. ¶ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit said, Today if you will hear his voice,
- 8. Harden not your hearts to provoke him, as the murmurers did in the day of temptation in the wilderness.
- 9. Your fathers tempted me even though they examined and saw my works forty years;
- 10. Therefore I was not pleased with that generation, and said, These are a people whose hearts have been misled and they have not known my ways.
- 11. So I swore in my anger, They shall not enter into my rest.
- 12. Take heed therefore, my brethren, lest perhaps there is a man among you who has an evil heart and is not a believer, and you will be cut off from the living God.
- 13. But search your hearts daily, until the day which is called The day, to the end that no man among you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
- 14. For we are made partakers of Christ, if from the beginning to the very end we hold steadfast to this true covenant,
- 15. As it is said, Today, if you hear even the echoes of his voice, do not harden your hearts to anger him.
- 16. Who are those who have heard and provoked him? Were they not those who came out of Egypt under Moses, although not all of them?
- 17. But with whom was he displeased for forty years? Was it not especially with those who had sinned and whose bones lay in the wilderness?
- 18. And against whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, except against those who did not listen?
- 19. So we see that they could not enter in because they did not believe.
