Jesus Greater Than Moses

¹ Therefore, holy brothers,^[a] you who share in ^(a)a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, ^(b)the apostle and high priest of our confession, ² who was faithful to him who appointed him, ^(c)just as Moses also was faithful in all God's^[b] house. ³ For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. ⁴ (For every house is built by someone, but ^(d)the builder of all things is God.) ^5 (e)Now Moses was faithful in all God's house ^(f)as a servant, ^(g)to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, ⁶ but Christ is faithful over God's house as ^(h)a son. And ⁽ⁱ⁾we are his house, if indeed we ^(j)hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.^[c]

A Rest for the People of God

⁷ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,

¹² Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from ⁽ⁿ⁾the living God. ¹³ But ^(o)exhort one another every day, as long as it is called "today," that none of you may be hardened by ^(p)the deceitfulness of sin. ¹⁴ For we have come to share in Christ, ^(q)if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. ¹⁵ As it is said,

¹⁶ For ^(s)who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not ^(t)all those who left Egypt led by Moses? ¹⁷ And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, ^(u)whose bodies fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸ And to whom did he swear that ^(v)they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? ¹⁹ So we see that ^(w)they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
