1Therefore <3606>, holy <40> brothers and sisters <80>, partners <3353> in a heavenly <2032> calling <2821>, take note <2657> of Jesus <2424>, the apostle <652> and <2532> high priest <749> whom we <2257> confess <3671>,
2who is <1510> faithful <4103> to the one who appointed <4160> him <846>, as <5613> Moses <3475> was also <2532> in <1722> God’s <846> house <3624>.
3For <1063> he <3778> has come to deserve <515> greater <4119> glory <1391> than <3844> Moses <3475>, just as <2596> <3745> the builder of a house <2680> deserves <2192> greater <4119> honor <5092> than <4119> the house <3624> itself <846>!
4For <1063> every <3956> house <3624> is built <2680> by <5259> someone <5100>, but <1161> the builder <2680> of all things <3956> is God <2316>.
5Now <2532> Moses <3475> was faithful <4103> in <1722> all <3650> God’s <846> house <3624> as <5613> a servant <2324>, to <1519> testify <3142> to the things that would be spoken <2980>.
6But <1161> Christ <5547> is faithful as <5613> a son <5207> over <1909> God’s <846> house <3624>. We <2249> are <1510> of his house <3624>, if <1437> in fact we hold firmly <2722> to our confidence <3954> and <2532> the hope <1680> we take pride <2745> in.
7Therefore <1352>, as <2531> the Holy <40> Spirit <4151> says <3004>, “Oh, that today <4594> you would listen <191> as he <846> speaks <5456>!
8“Do <4645> not <3361> harden <4645> your <5216> hearts <2588> as <5613> in <1722> the rebellion <3894>, in <2596> the day <2250> of testing <3986> in <1722> the wilderness <2048>.
9“There <3757> your <5216> fathers <3962> tested <1381> me and tried <3985> me, and <2532> they saw <1492> my <3450> works <2041> for forty <5062> years <2094>.
10“Therefore <1352>, I became provoked at <4360> that <3778> generation <1074> and <2532> said <2036>, ‘Their <846> hearts <2588> are <4105> always <104> wandering <4105> and <1161> they have <1097> not <3756> known <1097> my <3450> ways <3598>.’
11“As <5613> I swore <3660> in <1722> my <3450> anger <3709>, ‘They will <1525> never <1487> enter <1525> my <3450> rest <2663>!’”
12See <991> to it, brothers and sisters <80>, that none <3379> of you <5216> has <1510> an evil <4190>, unbelieving <570> heart <2588> that forsakes <868> the living <2198> God <2316>.
13But <235> exhort <3870> one another <1438> each <1538> day <2250>, as long as <891> it is called <2564> “Today <4594>,” that <2443> none <3361> of <1537> you <5216> may become hardened <4645> by sin’s <266> deception <539>.
14For <1063> we have become <1096> partners <3353> with Christ <5547>, if <1437> in fact we hold <2722> our initial <746> confidence <5287> firm <949> until <3360> the end <5056>.
15As <1722> it says <3004>, “Oh, that today <4594> you would listen <191> as he <846> speaks <5456>! Do <4645> not <3361> harden <4645> your <5216> hearts <2588> as <5613> in <1722> the rebellion <3894>.”
16For <1063> which ones <5100> heard <191> and <235> rebelled <3893>? Was it not <3756> all <3956> who came out <1831> of <1537> Egypt <125> under <1223> Moses <3475>’ leadership?
17And <1161> against whom <5101> was God provoked <4360> for forty <5062> years <2094>? Was it not <3780> those who sinned <264>, whose <3739> dead bodies <2966> fell <4098> in <1722> the wilderness <2048>?
18And <1161> to whom <5101> did he swear <3660> they would <1525> never <3361> enter <1525> into <1519> his <846> rest <2663>, except <1487> <3361> those who were disobedient <544>?
19So <2532> we see <991> that <3754> they could <1410> not <3756> enter <1525> because of <1223> unbelief <570>.
