1. Therefore, holy brothers, partakers in a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Jesus Christ,
2. who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses was faithful in all His house.
3. For the One was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, in that He who builds the house has more honor than the house itself.
4. For every house is built by someone, but the One who builds all things is God.
5. Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, testifying about those things that were to be spoken later.
6. But Christ is faithful over God’s house as a Son, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of our hope firm to the end.
7. Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice,
8. do not harden your heartsas in the rebellion,on the day of temptation in the wilderness,
9. where your fathers tested Me and triedMeand saw My works for forty years.
10. Therefore I was angry with that generation,and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,and they have not known My ways.’
11. So I swore in My wrath,‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”
12. Be attentive, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, and you depart from the living God.
