1Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,

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

3For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house.

4For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.

5And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward,

6but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope 3:6 NU omits firm to the endfirm to the end.

7Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:

12Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;

13but 3:13 encourageexhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,

15while it is said:

16For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses?

17Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?

18And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?

19So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
