Hebrews 3
3
Jesus Is Greater Than Moses
1And so, dear brothers and sisters who belong to God and#3:1a Greek And so, holy brothers who. are partners with those called to heaven, think carefully about this Jesus whom we declare to be God’s messenger#3:1b Greek God’s apostle. and High Priest. 2For he was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses served faithfully when he was entrusted with God’s entire#3:2 Some manuscripts do not include entire. house.
3But Jesus deserves far more glory than Moses, just as a person who builds a house deserves more praise than the house itself. 4For every house has a builder, but the one who built everything is God.
5Moses was certainly faithful in God’s house as a servant. His work was an illustration of the truths God would reveal later. 6But Christ, as the Son, is in charge of God’s entire house. And we are God’s house, if we keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ.#3:6 Some manuscripts add faithful to the end.
7That is why the Holy Spirit says,
“Today when you hear his voice,
8don’t harden your hearts
as Israel did when they rebelled,
when they tested me in the wilderness.
9There your ancestors tested and tried my patience,
even though they saw my miracles for forty years.
10So I was angry with them, and I said,
‘Their hearts always turn away from me.
They refuse to do what I tell them.’
11So in my anger I took an oath:
‘They will never enter my place of rest.’”#3:7-11 Ps 95:7-11.
12Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters.#3:12 Greek brothers. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God. 13You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. 14For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ. 15Remember what it says:
“Today when you hear his voice,
don’t harden your hearts
as Israel did when they rebelled.”#3:15 Ps 95:7-8.
16And who was it who rebelled against God, even though they heard his voice? Wasn’t it the people Moses led out of Egypt? 17And who made God angry for forty years? Wasn’t it the people who sinned, whose corpses lay in the wilderness? 18And to whom was God speaking when he took an oath that they would never enter his rest? Wasn’t it the people who disobeyed him? 19So we see that because of their unbelief they were not able to enter his rest.
