^{1 Ref} Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, `even' Jesus;

^{2 Ref} who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.

^{3 Ref} For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honor than the house.

^{4 Ref} For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God.

^{5 Ref} And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken;

^{6 Ref} but Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end.

^{7 Ref} Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice,

^{8 Ref} Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

^{9 Ref} Where your fathers tried `me' by proving `me,' And saw my works forty years.

^{10 Ref} Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways;

^{11 Ref} As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.

^{12 Ref} Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God:

^{13 Ref} but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin:

^{14 Ref} for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end:

^{15 Ref} while it is said, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

^{16 Ref} For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses?

^{17 Ref} And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

^{18 Ref} And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient?

^{19 Ref} And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
