Wherefore,
holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling,
consider the Apostle and High Priest of our
profession, Christ Jesus;
02 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as
also Moses was faithful in all his house.
03 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.
04 For every house is builded by some man; but he
that built all things is God.
05 And Moses verily was faithful in all his
house, as a servant, for a testimony of those
things which were to be spoken after;
06 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose
house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and
the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
07 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if
ye will hear his voice,
08 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation,
in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
09 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.

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 the 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.
