1. Therefore, brethren, saints, 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 over all his house, as also Moses was faithful.
3. For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built the house has more honour than the house.
4. For every house is built by someone, but he that created all things is God.
5. And Moses verily was faithful over 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, which house we are, if we hold fast the confidence and the glorious hope firmly until the end.
7. Therefore, as the Holy Spirit saith, Today if ye will hear his voice,
8. harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9. Where your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
