¹ Therefore, holy brothers, partners in a heavenly calling, keep your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.[xr] ² He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was in all God's[fn] household.[xr] ³ For he is worthy of greater glory than Moses in the same way that the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.[xr] ⁴ After all, every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.[xr] ⁵ Moses was faithful in all God's[fn] household as a servant who was to testify to what would be said later,[xr] ⁶ but Christ was faithful[fn] as the Son in charge of God's[fn] household, and we are his household if we hold on to our courage and the hope that we boast about.[fn][xr]

⁷ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,[xr] "Today, if you hear his voice, ⁸ do not harden your heartsas they did when they provoked meduring the time of testing in the wilderness. ⁹ There your ancestors tested me, even though they had seen my works ¹⁰ for forty years. That is why I was indignant with that generation and said, 'They are always going astray in their hearts, and they have not known my ways.' ¹¹ So in my anger I swore a solemn oaththat they would never enter my rest."[fn] ¹² See to it, my brothers, that no evil, unbelieving heart is found in any of you, as shown by your turning away from the living God. ¹³ Instead, continue to encourage one another every day, as long as it is called "Today," so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. ¹⁴ For we are Christ's partners only if we hold on to our original confidence to the end.[fn][xr] ¹⁵ As it is said,[xr] "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as they did when they provoked me."[fn] ¹⁶ Now who heard him and provoked him? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt led[fn] by Moses?[xr] ¹⁷ And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned and whose bodies fell in the wilderness?[xr] ¹⁸ And to whom did he swear that they would never enter his rest, if not to those who disobeyed him?[xr] ¹⁹ So we see that they were unable to enter because of their unbelief.[xr]
