Jesus Greater Than Moses
3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the
heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of
our profession, Christ Jesus;
3:2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also
Moses was faithful in all his house.
3:3 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.
3:4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that
built all things is God.
3:5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a
servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be
spoken after;
3:6 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.
Warning Against Unbelief
3:7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will
hear his voice,
3:8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the
day of temptation in the wilderness:
3:9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my
works forty years.
3:10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and
said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not
known my ways.
3:11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my
rest.)
3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an
evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
3:13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To
day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness
of sin.
3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the
beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
3:15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice,
harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
3:16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit
not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
3:17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not
with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the
wilderness?
3:18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into
his rest, but to them that believed not?
3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of
unbelief. |
