¹ why, holy brothers, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; ² Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. ³ For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as+ he who has builded the house has more honour than the house. ⁴ For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. ⁵ And Moses truly was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; ⁶ But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if+ we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end. ⁷ why (as the Holy Ghost says, To day if you will hear his voice, ⁸ Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: ⁹ When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years ¹⁰ why I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always stray in their heart; and they have not known my ways. ¹¹ So I sware in my wrath, They will not enter into my rest .) ¹² Take care, brothers, in case there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. ¹³ But exhort one another daily+ + , while+ it is called To day; in case any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. ¹⁴ For we are made partakers of Christ, if+ we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end; ¹⁵ While it is said, To day if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. ¹⁶ For some, when they had heard, did provoke: However not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. ¹⁷ But with who was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness ¹⁸ And to who sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? ¹⁹ So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
