¹ Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly call, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.² He was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in God's house.³ Yet Jesus has been counted worthy of as much more glory than Moses as the builder of a house has more honor than the house.⁴ (For every house is built by some one, but the builder of all things is God.)⁵ Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later,⁶ but Christ was faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house if we hold fast our confidence and pride in our hope.

⁷ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "Today, when you hear his voice,⁸ do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness,⁹ where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years.¹⁰ Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, 'They always go astray in their hearts; they have not known my ways.'¹¹ As I swore in my wrath, 'They shall never enter my rest.'"¹² Take care, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.¹³ But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called "today," that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.¹⁴ For we share in Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end,¹⁵ while it is said, "Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."¹⁶ Who were they that heard and yet were rebellious? Was it not all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses?¹⁷ And with whom was he provoked forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?¹⁸ And to whom did he swear that they should never enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient?¹⁹ So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
