| 1 | Wherefore, holy brethren, 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 hath builded the house hath 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 verily 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 unto the end. |
| 7 | Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye 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 | Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. |
| 11 | So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) |
| 12 | Take heed, brethren, lest 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; lest 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 stedfast unto the end; |
| 15 | While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. |
| 16 | For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. |
| 17 | But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? |
| 18 | And to whom 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.
