Hebrews 3:1-9-10 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. My friends, God has chosen you to be his holy people. So think about Jesus, the one we call our apostle and high priest!

2. Jesus was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in serving all God's people.

3. But Jesus deserves more honour than Moses, just as the builder of a house deserves more honour than the house.

4. Of course, every house is built by someone, and God is really the one who built everything.

5. Moses was a faithful servant and told God's people what would be said in the future.

6. But Christ is the Son in charge of God's people. And we are those people, if we keep on being brave and don't lose hope.

7. It is just as the Holy Spirit says,“If you hear God's voice today,

8. don't be stubborn!Don't rebel like those peoplewho were testedin the desert.

9-10. For forty years your ancestorstested God and sawthe things he did.“Then God got tired of themand said,‘You people nevershow good sense,and you don't understandwhat I want you to do.’
