¹Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of the heavenly calling, carefully consider the sent one and high priest of our confession, the Anointed One Jesus,

²being faithful to the One who appointed Him, as also Moses in all his house.

³For He has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as the one having built it has greater honor than the house itself;

⁴for every house is built by someone, but the One having built everything is God.

⁵And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, unto a testimony of the things to be spoken,

⁶but the Anointed One as the Son over his house, whose house we ourselves are, if indeed we hold our confidence and the boast of our hope until the end, unshakable.

⁷Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says: Today if you shall hear His voice,

⁸you shall not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,

⁹where your fathers tried me by testing me and saw my works

¹⁰forty years; therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said: Always they go astray in the heart; and they themselves have not known my ways;

¹¹so I swore in my wrath: They will not enter into my rest.

¹²Take heed, brothers, otherwise there will be in any of you an evil heart of distrust, in the falling away from the living God;

¹³but encourage each other every day, while it is called this today, so that not any one of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin;

¹⁴for we have become partakers of the Anointed One, if indeed we shall hold firm from the beginning of the assurance unto the end;

¹⁵as the saying: Today if you shall hear His voice, you shall not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.

¹⁶For who were those having heard who rebelled? but surely all those who came out of Egypt through Moses?

¹⁷Now with whom was He indignant forty years? Surely with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

¹⁸Then to whom did He swear that they would not enter into His rest, except to those who disobeyed?

¹⁹And we see that they were not able to enter in because of distrust.
