Christ Greater Than Moses, A Call to Faithfulness
1 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, sharers in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest whom we confess
2 He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God’s house
3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself
4 Every house is built by someone, but the builder of everything is God
5 Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, bearing witness to what would be spoken later
6 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house and we are His house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says Today, if 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 ancestors tested Me and tried Me, though they saw My works for forty years
10 Therefore I was angry with that generation and said They always go astray in their hearts, and they have not known My ways
11 So I swore in My wrath They shall never enter My rest
12 See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has an evil and unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God
13 Instead, 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 have become partners with Christ, if indeed we hold firmly to the beginning of our confidence until the end
15 As it has been said Today, if you hear His voice do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion
16 For who were those who heard and yet rebelled Was it not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses
17 And with whom was He angry for forty years Was it not those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness
18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, if not to those who disobeyed
19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief
