Hebrews 3

KING JAMES BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;	1 Therefore, holy brothers, sharers in the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus.
2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.	2 He is faithful to the One who made him, just as Moses also was, with his entire 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.	3 For this Jesus was considered worthy of greater glory than Moses, so much so that the house which he has built holds a greater honor than the former one.
4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.	4 For every house is built by someone, but God is the One who has created all things.
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;	5 And certainly Moses was faithful, with his entire house, like any servant, as a testimony to those things that would soon be said.
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.	6 Yet truly, Christ is like a Son in his own house. We are that house, if we firmly retain the faithfulness and the glory of hope, even unto the end.
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,	7 Because of this, it is just as the Holy Spirit says: “If today you hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:	8 harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, the very day of temptation, in the desert,
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.	9 where your fathers tested me, even though they had seen and examined my works for 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.	10 For this reason, I was enraged against this generation, and I said: They always wander astray in heart. For they have not known my ways.
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)	11 So it is as I swore 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.	12 Be cautious, brothers, lest perhaps there may be, in any of you, an evil heart of unbelief, turning aside 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.	13 Instead, exhort one another every day, while it is still called ‘today,’ so that none of you may become hardened through the falseness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;	14 For we have been made participants in Christ. This is only so, if we firmly retain the beginning of his substance, even unto the end.
15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.	15 For it has been said: “If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts, in the same manner as in the former provocation.”
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.	16 For some of those listening did provoke him. But not all of these had set forth from Egypt through Moses.
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?	17 So against whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not those who had sinned, whose dead bodies lay prostrate in the desert?
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?	18 But to whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, except to those who were incredulous?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.	19 And so, we perceive that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
