Therefore, holy brothers and companions in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession;

But encourage each other daily, while it is still called today, so that none of you is hardened by sin’s deception.

Watch out, brothers, so that there won’t be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart that departs from the living God.

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:

Today, if you hear His voice,

Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s household, as a testimony to what would be said in the future.

where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,
and saw My works

do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
on the day of testing in the wilderness,

for 40 years.
Therefore I was provoked with that generation
and said, “They always go astray in their hearts,
and they have not known My ways.”

So I swore in My anger,
“They will not enter My rest.”

For who heard and rebelled? Wasn’t it really all who came out of Egypt under Moses?

As it is said:

Today, if you hear His voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.

And who did He swear to that they would not enter His rest, if not those who disobeyed?

And who was He provoked with for 40 years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.

He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was in all God’s household.

For Jesus is considered worthy of more glory than Moses, just as the builder has more honor than the house.

But Christ was faithful as a Son over His household. And we are that household if we hold on to the courage and the confidence of our hope.

For we have become companions of the Messiah if we hold firmly until the end the reality that we had at the start.

Now every house is built by someone, but the One who built everything is God.
