Geneva1599 - Hebrews - 3

3:1  Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heauenly vocation, consider the Apostle and high Priest of our profession Christ Iesus:

3:2  Who was faithfull to him that hath appointed him, euen as Moses was in al his house.

3:3  For this man is counted worthy of more glory then Moses, inasmuch as he which hath builded the house, hath more honour then the house.

3:4  For euery house is builded of some man, and he that hath built all things, is God.

3:5  Now Moses verely was faithfull in all his house, as a seruant, for a witnesse of the thinges which should be spoken after.

3:6  But Christ is as the Sonne, ouer his owne house, whose house we are, if we holde fast that confidence and that reioycing of that hope vnto the ende.

3:7  Wherefore, as the holy Ghost sayth, To day if ye shall heare his voyce,

3:8  Harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation, according to the day of the tentation in the wildernes,

3:9  Where your fathers tempted me, prooued me, and sawe my workes fourtie yeeres long.

3:10  Wherefore I was grieued with that generation, and sayde, They erre euer in their heart, neither haue they knowen my wayes.

3:11  Therefore I sware in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.

3:12  Take heede, brethren, least at any time there be in any of you an euill heart, and vnfaithfull, to depart away from the liuing God.

3:13  But exhort one another dayly, while it is called to day, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulnes of sinne.

3:14  For we are made partakers of Christ, if we keepe sure vnto the ende that beginning, wherewith we are vpholden,

3:15  So long as it is sayd, To day if ye heare his voyce, harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation.

3:16  For some when they heard, prouoked him to anger: howbeit, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

3:17  But with whome was he displeased fourtie yeeres? Was hee not displeased with them that sinned, whose carkeises fell in the wildernes?

3:18  And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but vnto them that obeyed not?

3:19  So we see that they could not enter in, because of vnbeliefe.
