The Epistle of St. Paul to the Hebrews
Chapter 3
Christ is more excellent than Moses. Wherefore we must adhere to him by faith and obedience.
![]() 1 |
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus: |
![]() 2 |
Who is faithful to him that made him, as was also Moses in all his house. |
![]() 3 |
For this man was counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as he that hath built the house hath greater honour than the house. |
![]() 4 |
For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things is God. |
![]() 5 |
And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be said: |
![]() 6 |
But Christ, as the Son in his own house: which house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and glory of hope unto the end. |
![]() 7 |
Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith: To-day if you shall hear his voice, |
![]() 8 |
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the desert, |
![]() 9 |
Where your fathers tempted me, proved and saw my works, |
![]() 10 |
Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I said: They always err in heart. And they have not known my ways. |
![]() 11 |
As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest. |
![]() 12 |
Take heed, brethren, lest perhaps there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God. |
![]() 13 |
But exhort one another every day, whilst it is called to day, that none of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. |
![]() 14 |
For we are made partakers of Christ: yet so, if we hold the beginning of his substance firm unto the end. |
![]() 15 |
While it is said: To day, if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in that provocation. |
![]() 16 |
For some who heard did provoke: but not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. |
![]() 17 |
And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert? |
![]() 18 |
And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous? |
![]() 19 |
And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief. |
