Hebrews 3:15 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 3:15

While it is said today
Exhort one another, and hold fast Christ and his Gospel, and faith and confidence therein; what follows is a repetition of the citation in ( Hebrews 3:7 Hebrews 3:8 ) in order to make a further improvement of it; which shows, that the words belong to the present times of the Gospel, and contain in them matter of moment, and great concern; and that Scripture instructions and exhortations are of perpetual use.

Hebrews 3:15 In-Context

13 But encourage each other daily, while it is still called today , so that none of you is hardened by sin's deception.

14 For we have become companions of the Messiah if we hold firmly until the end the reality that we had at the start.

15 As it is said: Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.

16 For who heard and rebelled? Wasn't it really all who came out of Egypt under Moses?

17 And with whom was He "provoked for 40 years"? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert?
