Poslanica Hebrejima 3
Knijga O Kristu
Isus je veći od Mojsija
3 Braćo sveta, vi koji ste dionici nebeskoga poziva, promotrite zato Apostola i Velikog svećenika naše vjere - Isusa.
2 On je bio vjeran Bogu koji ga je postavio, kao što je i Mojsije vjerno služio u svoj Božjoj kući.
3 Ali Isusu pripada mnogo veća slava nego Mojsiju, baš kao što graditelju pripada mnogo veća slava nego kući koju je izgradio.
4 Svaku je kuću netko izgradio, ali jedino je Bog stvorio sve.
5 Mojsije je bio vjeran u Božjoj kući, ali kao sluga koji je svjedočio o onomu što je Bog imao objaviti poslije.
6 Krist, vjerni Sin, upravlja cijelom njegovom kućom. A njegova smo kuća mi ako sačuvamo hrabrost i ponos nade.
7 Zato činite kako kaže Sveti Duh:
'Čujete li danas Božji glas,
8 ne budite tvrda srca prema njemu
kao Izraelci kad su se pobunili,
kad su iskušavali Božju strpljivost
u pustinji.
9 Ondje su vaši preci iskušavali moje strpljenje
iako su gledali moja čudesa
10 četrdeset godina. Zato sam se naljutio na taj naraštaj i rekao sam:
"Uvijek srcem odlutaju od mene.
Ne poznaju moje putove.'
11 Zato se u gnjevu zakleh:
"Nikada neće ući u mjesto mojega odmora.''[a]
12 Pazite, braćo, da ne bi u koga srce bilo opako i nevjerničko, da se ne odmetne od živoga Boga.
13 Opominjite svednevice jedni druge dok još traje to 'danas' da ne bi tko otvrdnuo prema Bogu, zaveden grijehom!
14 Jer ako budemo vjerni do konca i ako se pouzdajemo u Boga čvrsto kao kad smo tek u njega povjerovali, bit ćemo Kristovim sudionicima.
15 Ne zaboravite upozorenje:
'Čujete li danas Božji glas,
ne budite tvrda srca prema njemu
kao Izraelci kad su se pobunili!'[b]
16 Koji su to bili ljudi što su se pobunili protiv Boga iako su mu čuli glas? Nisu li to oni što ih je Mojsije izveo iz Egipta?
17 I tko je srdio Boga četrdeset godina? Zar nisu oni koji su zgriješili i kojih su tjelesa popadala mrtva u pustinji?
18 I o komu je Bog govorio kad se zakleo da nikada neće ući u mjesto njegova odmora? Govorio je o onima koji su mu bili neposlušni.
19 Vidimo dakle da onamo nisu mogli ući zbog svoje nevjere.

Hebrews 3
New King James Version
The Son Was Faithful
3 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, 2 who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as (A)Moses also was faithful in all His house. 3 For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as (B)He who built the house has more honor than the house. 4 For every house is built by someone, but (C)He who built all things is God. 5 (D)And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as (E)a servant, (F)for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward, 6 but Christ as (G)a Son over His own house, (H)whose house we are (I)if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope [a]firm to the end.
Be Faithful(J)
7 Therefore, as (K)the Holy Spirit says:
(L)“Today, if you will hear His voice,
8 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
In the day of trial in the wilderness,
9 Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,
And saw My works forty years.
10 Therefore I was angry with that generation,
And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
And they have not known My ways.’
11 So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”
12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; 13 but [b]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:
(M)“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
Failure of the Wilderness Wanderers
16 (N)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, (O)whose corpses fell in the wilderness? 18 And (P)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 (Q)unbelief.
