| Chapter 3 | |
| 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 1faithful 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 aend. | 
| 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 | |
| 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 aend; | 
| 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 1unbelief.
