Hebrews

¹Therefore, holy brothers, sharers in the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus. ↗

²He is faithful to the One who made him, just as Moses also was, with his entire house. ↗

³For this Jesus was considered worthy of greater glory than Moses, so much so that the house which he has built holds a greater honor than the former one. ↗

⁴For every house is built by someone, but God is the One who has created all things. ↗

⁵And certainly Moses was faithful, with his entire house, like any servant, as a testimony to those things that would soon be said. ↗

⁶Yet truly, Christ is like a Son in his own house. We are that house, if we firmly retain the faithfulness and the glory of hope, even unto the end. ↗

⁷Because of this, it is just as the Holy Spirit says: ”If today you hear his voice, ↗

⁸harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, the very day of temptation, in the desert, ↗

⁹where your fathers tested me, even though they had seen and examined my works for forty years. ↗

¹⁰For this reason, I was enraged against this generation, and I said: They always wander astray in heart. For they have not known my ways. ↗

¹¹So it is as I swore in my wrath: They shall not enter into my rest!“ ↗

¹²Be cautious, brothers, lest perhaps there may be, in any of you, an evil heart of unbelief, turning aside from the living God. ↗

¹³Instead, exhort one another every day, while it is still called ‘today,’ so that none of you may become hardened through the falseness of sin. ↗

¹⁴For we have been made participants in Christ. This is only so, if we firmly retain the beginning of his substance, even unto the end. ↗

¹⁵For it has been said: ”If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts, in the same manner as in the former provocation.“ ↗

¹⁶For some of those listening did provoke him. But not all of these had set forth from Egypt through Moses. ↗

¹⁷So against whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not those who had sinned, whose dead bodies lay prostrate in the desert? ↗

¹⁸But to whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, except to those who were incredulous? ↗

¹⁹And so, we perceive that they were not able to enter because of unbelief. ↗
