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 one another {day by day}, as long as it is called "today," so that {none of you become hardened} by the deception of sin.

14 For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of [our] commitment steadfast until the end,

15 {while it is said}, "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."

16 For who, [when they] heard [it], were disobedient? Surely [it was] not all who went out from Egypt through Moses?

17 And with whom was he angry [for] forty years? [Was it] not with those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness?
