Hebrews 3

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 Holy brothers and sisters, God chose you to be his people. So keep thinking about Jesus. He is our apostle. He is our high priest. We believe in him.

2 Moses was faithful in everything he did in the house of God. In the same way, Jesus was faithful to the One who appointed him.

3 The person who builds a house has greater honor than the house itself. In the same way, Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses.

4 Every house is built by someone. But God is the builder of everything.

5 Moses was faithful as one who serves in the house of God. He gave witness to what God would say in days to come.

6 But Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. We are his house if we continue to come boldly to God. We must also hold on to the hope we take pride in.

7 The Holy Spirit says, "Listen to his voice today.

8 If you hear it, don't be stubborn. You were stubborn when you opposed me. You did that when you were put to the test in the desert.

9 There your people of long ago put me to the test. For 40 years they saw what I did.

10 That is why I was angry with them. I said, 'Their hearts are always going down the wrong path. They have not known my ways.'

11 So in my anger I took an oath. I said, 'They will never enjoy the rest I planned for them.' " (Psalm 95:7-11)

12 Brothers and sisters, make sure that none of you has a sinful heart. Do not let an unbelieving heart turn you away from the living God.

13 But build one another up every day. Do it as long as there is still time. Then none of you will become stubborn. You won't be fooled by sin's tricks.

14 We belong to Christ if we hold firmly to the faith we had at first. But we must hold to it until the end.

15 It has just been said, "Listen to his voice today. If you hear it, don't be stubborn. You were stubborn when you opposed me." (Psalm 95:7,8)

16 Who were those who heard and refused to obey? Weren't they all the people Moses led out of Egypt?

17 Who was God angry with for 40 years? Wasn't it with those who sinned? They died in the desert.

18 What people did God promise with an oath that they would never enjoy the rest he planned for them? Wasn't it those who didn't obey?

19 So we see that they weren't able to enter. That's because they didn't believe.

Wycliffe WYC

1 Therefore [Wherefore], holy brethren, and partners of heavenly calling, behold ye the apostle and the bishop of our confession, Jesus,

2 which is true to him that made him, as also Moses in all the house of him.

3 But this bishop [Forsooth this bishop] is had worthy of more glory than Moses, by as much as he hath more honour of the house, that made the house.

4 For each house is made of some man; [forsooth] he that made all things of nought is God.

5 And [soothly] Moses was true in all his house, as a servant, into witnessing of those things that were to be said;

6 but Christ as a son in his house. Which house we be, if we hold firm trust and glory of hope into [unto] the end.

7 Wherefore as the Holy Ghost saith, To day, if ye have heard his voice,

8 do not ye harden your hearts, as in wrathing, like the day of temptation in desert [after the day of temptation in desert];

9 where your fathers tempted me, and proved, and saw my works forty years. [where your fathers tempted me, proved, and saw my works.]

10 Wherefore I was wroth [Wherefore I was offended, or wroth,] to this generation, and I said, Evermore they err in heart, for they knew not my ways;

11 to which I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest. [to whom I swore in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest.]

12 Brethren, see ye, lest peradventure in any of you be an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God.

13 But admonish yourselves by all days, the while to day is named, that none of you be hardened by fallacy of sin [that none of you be hardened by falseness of sin].

14 For we be made partners of Christ, if nevertheless we hold the beginning of his substance firm into the end.

15 While it is said, to day, if ye have heard the voice of him, do not ye harden your hearts, as in that wrathing.

16 For some men hearing wrathed [Soothly some hearing wrathed], but not all they that went out of Egypt by Moses.

17 But to whom was he wrathed forty years? Whether not to them that sinned, whose carrions were cast down in desert [into desert]?

18 And to whom swore he, that they should not enter into the rest of him [+To whom he swore soothly, to not enter into his rest], no but to them that were unbelieveful?

19 And we see, that they might not enter into the rest of him for unbelief.
