Hebrews 3 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Jesus Our High Priest

3 Therefore, ^(A)holy brothers and sisters, partakers of a ^(B)heavenly calling, consider ^(C)the Apostle and ^(D)High Priest of our ^(E)confession: Jesus; ²^[a]He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as ^(F)Moses also was in all His house. ³^(G)For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house. ⁴For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. ⁵Now ^(H)Moses was faithful in all ^[b]God’s house as ^(I)a servant, ^(J)for a testimony of those things ^(K)which were to be spoken later; ⁶but Christ was faithful as ^(L)a Son over His house—^(M)whose house we are, ^(N)if we hold firmly to our ^(O)confidence and the boast of our ^[c]^(P)hope.

⁷Therefore, just as ^(Q)the Holy Spirit says,

“^(R)Today if you hear His voice,
⁸^(S)Do not harden your hearts as ^[d]when they provoked Me,
As on the day of trial in the wilderness,
⁹^(T)Where your fathers put Me to the test,
And saw My works for ^(U)forty years.
¹⁰^(V)Therefore I was angry with this generation,
And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
And they did not know My ways’;
¹¹^(W)As I swore in My anger,
‘They certainly shall not enter My rest.’”

The Danger of Unbelief

¹²^(X)Take care, brothers and sisters, that there will not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart ^[e]that falls away from ^(Y)the living God. ¹³But ^(Z)encourage one another every day, as long as it is still called “today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the ^(AA)deceitfulness of sin. ¹⁴For we have become partakers of Christ ^(AB)if we keep the beginning of our ^[f]^(AC)commitment firm until the end, ¹⁵while it is said,

“^(AD)Today if you hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts, as ^[g]when they provoked Me.”

¹⁶For who ^(AE)provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, ^(AF)did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? ¹⁷And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, ^(AG)whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸And to whom did He swear ^(AH)that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were ^(AI)disobedient? ¹⁹And so we see that they were not able to enter because of ^(AJ)unbelief.
