4. For every house is built by someone, but God is the One who has created all things.
5. And certainly Moses was faithful, with his entire house, like any servant, as a testimony to those things that would soon be said.
6. Yet truly, Christ is like a Son in his own house. We are that house, if we firmly retain the faithfulness and the glory of hope, even unto the end.
7. Because of this, it is just as the Holy Spirit says: "If today you hear his voice,
8. harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, the very day of temptation, in the desert,
9. where your fathers tested me, even though they had seen and examined my works for forty years.
10. For this reason, I was enraged against this generation, and I said: They always wander astray in heart. For they have not known my ways.
11. So it is as I swore in my wrath: They shall not enter into my rest!"
12. Be cautious, brothers, lest perhaps there may be, in any of you, an evil heart of unbelief, turning aside from the living God.
13. Instead, exhort one another every day, while it is still called 'today,' so that none of you may become hardened through the falseness of sin.
14. For we have been made participants in Christ. This is only so, if we firmly retain the beginning of his substance, even unto the end.
15. For it has been said: "If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts, in the same manner as in the former provocation."
