Christ more worthy than Moses.

¹⁾Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

²⁾Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

³⁾For he was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honor than the house.

⁴⁾For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

⁵⁾And Moses verily was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

⁶⁾But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

⁷⁾Wherefore as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear his voice,

⁸⁾Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness;

⁹⁾When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

¹⁰⁾Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

¹¹⁾So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.

¹²⁾Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

¹³⁾But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

¹⁴⁾For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end;

¹⁵⁾While it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

¹⁶⁾For some, when they had heard, did provoke; howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

¹⁷⁾But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

¹⁸⁾And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

¹⁹⁾So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
