Hebrews

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 his 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 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.
