4. Every house, of course, is built by someone — and God is the one who has built all things.
5. Moses was faithful in God's house as a servant, and he spoke of the things that God would say in the future.
6. But Christ is faithful as the Son in charge of God's house. We are his house if we keep up our courage and our confidence in what we hope for.

10. And so I was angry with those people and said,‘They are always disloyaland refuse to obey my commands.’
11. I was angry and made a solemn promise:‘They will never enter the land where I would have given them rest!’ ”
12. My fellow-believers, be careful that no one among you has a heart so evil and unbelieving as to turn away from the living God.
