Haweis - Hebrews - 3

3:1  WHEREFORE, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, contemplate the apostle and high-priest whom ye confess, Jesus Christ;

3:2  who was faithful to him who appointed him, as Moses also was in all his house.

3:3  For this personage hath been counted worthy of higher glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built it, hath greater honour than the house.

3:4  For every house is built by some person; but he who is the architect of all things is God.

3:5  And Moses indeed was faithful in all that house of his as a servant, to bear testimony of the things which should be after spoken;

3:6  but Christ as a son over his own house: whose house are we, if we hold firmly the confidence and glorying of hope stedfast unto the end.

3:7  Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

3:8  harden not your hearts, as in that bitter provocation, at the day of the temptation in the wilderness;

3:9  when your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works during forty years.

3:10  Wherefore I was provoked against that generation, and said, They are always deluded in heart, and they have not known my ways:

3:11  so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.

3:12  Take heed, brethren, that there be not in any one of you a wicked heart of infidelity, evident in departure from the living God:

3:13  but exhort one another daily, whilst to-day remains, that no one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

3:14  For we are partakers with Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end;

3:15  while it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts as in the provocation.

3:16  For some, though they had heard, provoked him; yet not all who came out of Egypt by Moses.

3:17  But against whom was he incensed forty years? Was it not against those who had sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?

3:18  And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who did not believe?

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