Hebrews 3

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 That is why al you who are holy brothers and share the same heavenly cal should turn your minds toJesus, the apostle and the high priest of our profession of faith.	1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus:
2 He was trustworthy to the one who appointed him, just like Moses, who remained trustworthy in all hishousehold;	2 Who is faithful to him that made him, as was also Moses in all his house.
3 but he deserves a greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house is more honoured than thehouse itself.	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 Every house is built by someone, of course; but God built everything that exists.	4 For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things, is God.
5 It is true that Moses was trustworthy in the household of God, as a servant is, acting as witness to thethings which were yet to be revealed,	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 is trustworthy as a son is, over his household. And we are his household, as long as wefearlessly maintain the hope in which we glory.	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 That is why, as the Holy Spirit says: If only you would listen to him today!	7 Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith: To day if you shall hear his voice,
8 Do not harden your hearts, as at the rebel ion, as at the time of testing in the desert,	8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation; in the day of temptation in the desert,
9 when your ancestors chal enged me, and put me to the test, and saw what I could do	9 Where your fathers tempted me, proved and saw my works,
10 for forty years. That was why that generation sickened me and I said, 'Always fickle hearts, thatcannot grasp my ways!'	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 And then in my anger I swore that they would never enter my place of rest.	11 As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest.
12 Take care, brothers, that none of you ever has a wicked heart, so unbelieving as to turn away from theliving God.	12 Take heed, brethren, lest perhaps there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God.
13 Every day, as long as this today lasts, keep encouraging one another so that none of you is hardenedby the lure of sin,	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 because we have been granted a share with Christ only if we keep the grasp of our first confidencefirm to the end.	14 For we are made partakers of Christ: yet so, if we hold the beginning of his substance firm unto the end.
15 In this saying: If only you would listen to him today; do not harden your hearts, as at the Rebel ion,	15 While it is said, To day if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in that provocation.
16 who was it who listened and then rebelled? Surely al those whom Moses led out of Egypt.	16 For some who heard did provoke: but not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Surely with those who sinned and whose dead bodiesfel in the desert.	17 And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert?
18 To whom did he swear they would never enter his place of rest? Surely those who would not believe.	18 And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous?
19 So we see that it was their refusal to believe which prevented them from entering.	19 And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.
