12 Mirad, hermanos, que no haya en ninguno de vosotros corazón malo de incredulidad para apartarse del Dios vivo; 13 antes exhortaos los unos a los otros cada día, entre tanto que se dice: Hoy; para que ninguno de vosotros se endurezca por el engaño del pecado. 14 Porque somos hechos participantes de Cristo, con tal que retengamos firme hasta el fin nuestra confianza del principio, 15 entre tanto que se dice:

Si oyereis hoy su voz,

No endurezcáis vuestros corazones, como en la provocación.(A)

16 ¿Quiénes fueron los que, habiendo oído, le provocaron? ¿No fueron todos los que salieron de Egipto por mano de Moisés? 17 ¿Y con quiénes estuvo él disgustado cuarenta años? ¿No fue con los que pecaron, cuyos cuerpos cayeron en el desierto? 18 ¿Y a quiénes juró que no entrarían en su reposo, sino a aquellos que desobedecieron?(B) 19 Y vemos que no pudieron entrar a causa de incredulidad.

12 Procuren, hermanos, que ninguno de ustedes tenga un corazón incrédulo y perverso que lo aparte del Dios viviente. 13 Más bien exhórtense unos a otros día tras día mientras dura ese “hoy”, para que la seducción del pecado no endurezca sus conciencias. 14 Porque sólo si mantenemos firme hasta el fin la confianza del principio, compartiremos la suerte de Cristo. 15 Es lo que se nos dice:

Cuando hoy escuchen la voz del Señor,
no cierren herméticamente el corazón,
como hicieron los que se rebelaron.

16 ¿Y quiénes fueron los que, habiendo escuchado la voz del Señor, se rebelaron? ¿No fueron acaso todos los que habían salido de Egipto guiados por Moisés? 17 Y ¿contra quiénes se indignó el Señor a lo largo de aquellos cuarenta años? Está claro que contra quienes pecaron, y por eso sus cadáveres quedaron tendidos en el desierto. 18 Y ¿a quiénes, sino a los rebeldes, aseguró con juramento que no entrarían en su descanso? 19 Vemos, efectivamente, que no pudieron entrar por falta de fe.

12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; 13 but [a]exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, 15 while it is said:

(A)“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

Failure of the Wilderness Wanderers

16 (B)For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? 17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, (C)whose corpses fell in the wilderness? 18 And (D)to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of (E)unbelief.

  1. Hebrews 3:13 encourage

The Peril of Unbelief

12 Take care, brothers and sisters, that there not be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving [a]heart [which refuses to trust and rely on the Lord, a heart] that turns away from the living God. 13 But continually encourage one another every day, as long as it is called “Today” [and there is an opportunity], so that none of you will be hardened [into settled rebellion] by the deceitfulness of sin [its cleverness, delusive glamour, and sophistication]. 14 For we [believers] have become partakers of Christ [sharing in all that the Messiah has for us], if only we hold firm our newborn confidence [which originally led us to Him] until the end, 15 while it is said,

Today [while there is still opportunity] if you hear His voice,
Do not harden your heart, as when they provoked Me [in the rebellion in the desert at Meribah].”(A)

16 For who were they who heard and yet provoked Him [with rebellious acts]? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose dead bodies were scattered in the desert? 18 And to whom did He swear [an oath] that they would not enter His rest, but to those who disobeyed [those who would not listen to His word]? 19 So we see that they were not able to enter [into His rest—the promised land] because of unbelief and an unwillingness to trust in God.(B)
