Hebrews 3

New Living Translation NLT

1 And so, dear brothers and sisters who belong to God and are partners with those called to heaven, think carefully about this Jesus whom we declare to be God’s messenger and High Priest.

2 For he was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses served faithfully when he was entrusted with God’s entire house.

3 But Jesus deserves far more glory than Moses, just as a person who builds a house deserves more praise than the house itself.

4 For every house has a builder, but the one who built everything is God.

5 Moses was certainly faithful in God’s house as a servant. His work was an illustration of the truths God would reveal later.

6 But Christ, as the Son, is in charge of God’s entire house. And we are God’s house, if we keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ.

7 That is why the Holy Spirit says, “Today when you hear his voice,

8 don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled, when they tested me in the wilderness.

9 There your ancestors tested and tried my patience, even though they saw my miracles for forty years.

10 So I was angry with them, and I said, ‘Their hearts always turn away from me. They refuse to do what I tell them.’

11 So in my anger I took an oath: ‘They will never enter my place of rest.’”

12 Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God.

13 You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God.

14 For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ.

15 Remember what it says: “Today when you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled.”

16 And who was it who rebelled against God, even though they heard his voice? Wasn’t it the people Moses led out of Egypt?

17 And who made God angry for forty years? Wasn’t it the people who sinned, whose corpses lay in the wilderness?

18 And to whom was God speaking when he took an oath that they would never enter his rest? Wasn’t it the people who disobeyed him?

19 So we see that because of their unbelief they were not able to enter his rest.

Common English Bible CEB

1 Therefore, brothers and sisters who are partners in the heavenly calling, think about Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.

2 Jesus was faithful to the one who appointed him just like Moses was faithful in God's house.

3 But he deserves greater glory than Moses in the same way that the builder of the house deserves more honor than the house itself.

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

5 Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant in order to affirm the things that would be spoken later.

6 But Jesus was faithful over God's house as a Son. We are his house if we hold on to the confidence and the pride that our hope gives us.

7 So, as the Holy Spirit says, Today, if you hear his voice,

8 don't have stubborn hearts as they did in the rebellion, on the day when they tested me in the desert.

9 That is where your ancestors challenged and tested me, though they had seen my work for forty years.

10 So I was angry with them. I said, "Their hearts always go off course, and they don't know my ways."

11 Because of my anger I swore: "They will never enter my rest!"

12 Watch out, brothers and sisters, so that none of you have an evil, unfaithful heart that abandons the living God.

13 Instead, encourage each other every day, as long as it's called "today," so that none of you become insensitive to God because of sin's deception.

14 We are partners with Christ, but only if we hold on to the confidence we had in the beginning until the end.

15 When it says, Today, if you hear his voice, don't have stubborn hearts as they did in the rebellion.

16 Who was it who rebelled when they heard his voice? Wasn't it all of those who were brought out of Egypt by Moses?

17 And with whom was God angry for forty years? Wasn't it with the ones who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert?

18 And against whom did he swear that they would never enter his rest, if not against the ones who were disobedient?

19 We see that they couldn't enter because of their lack of faith.
