Holy Bible
(King James Version)
Hebrews:
Chapter 3
1. WHEREFORE,
holy brethren, 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, as also Moses was
faithful in all his house.
3. For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as
he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
4. For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things
is God.
5. And Moses verily was faithful in 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 this own house; whose house are we, if we
hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the
end.
7. Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To-day if ye will hear his voice,
8. Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of
temptation in the wilderness:
9. When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty
years.
10. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do
alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12. Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of
unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To-day; lest any of
you be hardened through deceitfulness of sin.
14. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our
confidence stedfast unto the end;
15. While it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not
your hearts, as in the provocation.
16. For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that
came out of Egypt by Moses.
17. But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that
had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
18. And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but
to them that believed not?
19. So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
