1: Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of [the] heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus, 2: who is faithful to him that has constituted him, as Moses also in all his house. 3: For he has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by how much he that has built it has more honour than the house. 4: For every house is built by some one; but he who has built all things [is] God. 5: And Moses indeed [was] faithful in all his house, as a ministering servant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken after; 6: but Christ, as Son over his house, whose house are we, if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end. 7: Wherefore, even as says the Holy Spirit, 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: where your fathers tempted [me], by proving [me], and saw my works forty years. 10: Wherefore I was wroth with this generation, and said, They always err in heart; and they have not known my ways; 11: so I swore in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest. 12: See, brethren, lest there be in any one of you a wicked heart of unbelief, in turning away from [the] living God. 13: But encourage yourselves each day, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14: For we are become companions of the Christ if indeed we hold the beginning of the assurance firm to the end; 15: in that it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation; 16: (for who was it, who, having heard, provoked? but [was it] not all who came out of Egypt by Moses? 17: And with whom was he wroth forty years? [Was it] not with those who had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? 18: And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who had not hearkened to the word? 19: And we see that they could not enter in on account of unbelief;)
