The Superiority of Jesus to Moses

¹ Therefore, holy brothers, sharers in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, ² who was faithful to the one who appointed him, as Moses also was in his household.^{[a] 3} For this one is considered worthy of greater glory than Moses, inasmuch as the one who builds it has greater honor than the house. ⁴ For every house is built by someone, but the one who built all things is God. ⁵ And Moses was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony to the things that would be spoken, ⁶ but Christ was faithful^[b] as a son over his house, whose house we are, if^[c] we hold fast to our confidence and the hope we can be proud of.

A Serious Warning Against Unbelief

⁷ Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says,

¹² Watch out, brothers, lest there be in some of you an evil, unbelieving heart, with the result that you fall away^[f] from the living God. ¹³ But encourage one another day by day^[g], as long as it is called "today," so that none of you become hardened^[h] by the deception of sin. ¹⁴ For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of our commitment steadfast until the end, ¹⁵ while it is said^[i],

¹⁶ For who, when they^[k] heard it, were disobedient? Surely it was not all who went out from Egypt through Moses? ¹⁷ And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸ And to whom did he swear they would not enter into his rest, except those who were disobedient? ¹⁹ And so we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
