HEBREWS CHAPTER III.

[Christ is shewed to be more worthy than Moses: 7 therefore we must be careful 
not to follow the example of the obstinate and unbelieving Israelites,;] 

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 said, 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 always 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 steadfast 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 carcasses 
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.
