| 1 | Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of [the] heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus, |
| 2 | who is faithful to him that has constituted him, as Moses also in all his house. |
| 3 | For he has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by how much he that has built it has more honour than the house. |
| 4 | For every house is built by some one; but he who has built all things [is] God. |
| 5 | And Moses indeed [was] faithful in all his house, as a ministering servant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken after; |
| 6 | but Christ, as Son over his house, whose house are we, if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end. |
| 7 | Wherefore, even as says the Holy Spirit, 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 | where your fathers tempted [me], by proving [me], and saw my works forty years. |
| 10 | Wherefore I was wroth with this generation, and said, They always err in heart; and they have not known my ways; |
| 11 | so I swore in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest. |
| 12 | See, brethren, lest there be in any one of you a wicked heart of unbelief, in turning away from [the] living God. |
| 13 | But encourage yourselves each day, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. |
| 14 | For we are become companions of the Christ if indeed we hold the beginning of the assurance firm to the end; |
| 15 | in that it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation; |
| 16 | (for who was it, who, having heard, provoked? but [was it] not all who came out of Egypt by Moses? |
| 17 | And with whom was he wroth forty years? [Was it] not with those who had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? |
| 18 | And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who had not hearkened to the word? |
| 19 | And we see that they could not enter in on account of unbelief;) |
