Hébreux 3:4

4 Chaque maison est construite par quelqu'un, mais celui qui a construit toutes choses, c'est Dieu.

Hébreux 3:4 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 3:4

For every house is built by some man
Or by some one; for a house does not build itself: this is true of houses properly taken, or improperly, as nations, tribes, families, and kindred, of the whole church in general, of particular congregations, and of individual believers; the greatest saints, even apostles and prophets, such an one as Moses, are built by and upon Christ; their persons are built on him; they receive all their gifts for edification from him, and their success is owing to him; though they are to be esteemed of in their proper places: the apostle's design is to bring down the high esteem the Jews had of Moses, that they might rightly value Christ.

But he that built all things is God;
Christ has built all things, and therefore he is God, and must be infinitely above Moses; for this is not to be understood of God and of the creation of the world, and of all things in it by him; but of Christ, and of his building the church, and of his ordering and managing of that, and all affairs relating to it; such as the constitution of it, settling the worship of God, and the ordinances in it, the redemption and salvation of the members of it, and its rule and government; all which prove him to be God, and above Moses.

Hébreux 3:4 In-Context

2 Jésus, qui a été fidèle à celui qui l'a établi, comme le fut Moïse dans toute sa maison.
3 Car il a été jugé digne d'une gloire d'autant supérieure à celle de Moïse que celui qui a construit une maison a plus d'honneur que la maison même.
4 Chaque maison est construite par quelqu'un, mais celui qui a construit toutes choses, c'est Dieu.
5 Pour Moïse, il a été fidèle dans toute la maison de Dieu, comme serviteur, pour rendre témoignage de ce qui devait être annoncé;
6 mais Christ l'est comme Fils sur sa maison; et sa maison, c'est nous, pourvu que nous retenions jusqu'à la fin la ferme confiance et l'espérance dont nous nous glorifions.
