| 3:1 | For this reason, holy brothers, marked out to have a part in heaven, give thought to Jesus the representative and high priest of our faith; |
| 3:2 | Who kept faith with God who gave him his place, even as Moses did in all his house. |
| 3:3 | And it was right for this man to have more honour than Moses, even as the builder of a house has more honour than the house. |
| 3:4 | For every house has a builder; but the builder of all things is God. |
| 3:5 | And Moses certainly kept faith as a servant, in all his house, and as a witness of those things which were to be said later; |
| 3:6 | But Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we keep our hearts fixed in the glad and certain hope till the end. |
|
| 3:7 | And so, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you let his voice come to your ears, |
| 3:8 | Be not hard of heart, as when you made me angry, on the day of testing in the waste land, |
| 3:9 | When your fathers put me to the test, and saw my works for forty years. |
| 3:10 | So that I was angry with this generation, and I said, Their hearts are in error at all times, and they have no knowledge of my ways; |
| 3:11 | And being angry I made an oath, saying, They may not come into my rest. |
| 3:12 | My brothers, take care that there is not by chance in any one of you an evil heart without belief, turning away from the living God: |
| 3:13 | But give comfort to one another every day as long as it is still Today; so that no one among you may be made hard by the deceit of sin: |
| 3:14 | For if we keep the substance of the faith which we had at the start, even till the end, we have a part with Christ; |
| 3:15 | As it is said, Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart, as when you made him angry. |
| 3:16 | Who made him angry when his voice came to them? was it not all those who came out of Egypt with Moses? |
| 3:17 | And with whom was he angry for forty years? was it not with those who did evil, who came to their deaths in the waste land? |
| 3:18 | And to whom did he make an oath that they might not come into his rest? was it not to those who went against his orders? |
| 3:19 | So we see that they were not able to go in because they had no belief. |
