Hebrews 3

The Message Bible MSG

1 So, my dear Christian friends, companions in following this call to the heights, take a good hard look at Jesus. He's the centerpiece of everything we believe,

2 faithful in everything God gave him to do. Moses was also faithful,

3 but Jesus gets far more honor. A builder is more valuable than a building any day.

4 Every house has a builder, but the Builder behind them all is God.

5 Moses did a good job in God's house, but it was all servant work, getting things ready for what was to come.

6 Christ as Son is in charge of the house.

7 That's why the Holy Spirit says, Today, please listen;

8 don't turn a deaf ear as in "the bitter uprising," that time of wilderness testing!

9 Even though they watched me at work for forty years, your ancestors refused to let me do it my way; over and over they tried my patience.

10 And I was provoked, oh, so provoked! I said, "They'll never keep their minds on God; they refuse to walk down my road."

11 Exasperated, I vowed, "They'll never get where they're going, never be able to sit down and rest."

12 So watch your step, friends. Make sure there's no evil unbelief lying around that will trip you up and throw you off course, diverting you from the living God.

13 For as long as it's still God's Today, keep each other on your toes so sin doesn't slow down your reflexes.

14 If we can only keep our grip on the sure thing we started out with, we're in this with Christ for the long haul.

15 These words keep ringing in our ears: Today, please listen; don't turn a deaf ear as in the bitter uprising.

16 For who were the people who turned a deaf ear? Weren't they the very ones Moses led out of Egypt?

17 And who was God provoked with for forty years? Wasn't it those who turned a deaf ear and ended up corpses in the wilderness?

18 And when he swore that they'd never get where they were going, wasn't he talking to the ones who turned a deaf ear?

19 They never got there because they never listened, never believed.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 unde fratres sancti vocationis caelestis participes considerate apostolum et pontificem confessionis nostrae Iesum

2 qui fidelis est ei qui fecit illum sicut et Moses in omni domo illius

3 amplioris enim gloriae iste prae Mose dignus habitus est quanto ampliorem honorem habet domus qui fabricavit illam

4 omnis namque domus fabricatur ab aliquo qui autem omnia creavit Deus

5 et Moses quidem fidelis erat in tota domo eius tamquam famulus in testimonium eorum quae dicenda erant

6 Christus vero tamquam filius in domo sua quae domus sumus nos si fiduciam et gloriam spei usque ad finem firmam retineamus

7 quapropter sicut dicit Spiritus Sanctus hodie si vocem eius audieritis

8 nolite obdurare corda vestra sicut in exacerbatione secundum diem temptationis in deserto

9 ubi temptaverunt me patres vestri probaverunt et viderunt opera mea

10 quadraginta annos propter quod infensus fui generationi huic et dixi semper errant corde ipsi autem non cognoverunt vias meas

11 sicut iuravi in ira mea si introibunt in requiem meam

12 videte fratres ne forte sit in aliquo vestrum cor malum incredulitatis discedendi a Deo vivo

13 sed adhortamini vosmet ipsos per singulos dies donec hodie cognominatur ut non obduretur quis ex vobis fallacia peccati

14 participes enim Christi effecti sumus si tamen initium substantiae usque ad finem firmum retineamus

15 dum dicitur hodie si vocem eius audieritis nolite obdurare corda vestra quemadmodum in illa exacerbatione

16 quidam enim audientes exacerbaverunt sed non universi qui profecti sunt ab Aegypto per Mosen

17 quibus autem infensus est quadraginta annos nonne illis qui peccaverunt quorum cadavera prostrata sunt in deserto

18 quibus autem iuravit non introire in requiem ipsius nisi illis qui increduli fuerunt

19 et videmus quia non potuerunt introire propter incredulitatem
