Jesus Greater Than Moses

1 Therefore, holy brothers,¹ who share in the heavenly calling,² fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest³ whom we confess.⁴ 2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God's house.⁵ 3 Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses,⁶ just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. 4 For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.⁷ 5 Moses was faithful as a servant⁸ in all God's house,⁹ testifying to what would be said in the future. 6 But Christ is faithful as a son¹⁰ over God's house. And we are his house,¹¹ if we hold on¹² to our courage and the hope¹³ of which we boast.

Warning Against Unbelief

7 So, as the Holy Spirit says:¹⁴ "Today, if you hear his voice, 8 do not harden your hearts¹⁵ as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the desert, 9 where your fathers tested and tried me and for forty years saw what I did.¹⁶
