耶稣比摩西更配得荣耀

同蒙天召的圣洁弟兄啊,你们应当思想我们所认为使者、为大祭司的耶稣。 他为那设立他的尽忠,如同摩西在神的全家尽忠一样。 他比摩西算是更配多得荣耀,好像建造房屋的比房屋更尊荣。 因为房屋都必有人建造,但建造万物的就是神。 摩西为仆人,在神的全家诚然尽忠,为要证明将来必传说的事; 但基督为儿子,治理神的家。我们若将可夸的盼望和胆量坚持到底,便是他的家了。

当警戒硬心

圣灵有话说:“你们今日若听他的话, 就不可硬着心,像在旷野惹他发怒、试探他的时候一样。 在那里,你们的祖宗试我探我,并且观看我的作为有四十年之久。 10 所以,我厌烦那世代的人,说:‘他们心里常常迷糊,竟不晓得我的作为。’ 11 我就在怒中起誓说:‘他们断不可进入我的安息。’” 12 弟兄们,你们要谨慎,免得你们中间或有人存着不信的恶心,把永生神离弃了。 13 总要趁着还有今日,天天彼此相劝,免得你们中间有人被罪迷惑,心里就刚硬了。 14 我们若将起初确实的信心坚持到底,就在基督里有份了。 15 经上说:“你们今日若听他的话,就不可硬着心,像惹他发怒的日子一样。”

不信之人不能享受安息

16 那时听见他话惹他发怒的是谁呢?岂不是跟着摩西埃及出来的众人吗? 17 神四十年之久又厌烦谁呢?岂不是那些犯罪尸首倒在旷野的人吗? 18 又向谁起誓,不容他们进入他的安息呢?岂不是向那些不信从的人吗? 19 这样看来,他们不能进入安息是因为不信的缘故了。

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, even Jesus; who was faithful to him that [a]appointed him, as also was Moses in all [b]his house. For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that [c]built the house hath more honor than the house. For every house is [d]builded by some one; but he that [e]built all things is God. And Moses indeed was faithful in all [f]his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken; but Christ as a son, over [g]his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end. Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith,

[h]To-day if ye shall hear his voice,
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation,
Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
[i]Where your fathers tried me by proving me,
And saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was displeased with this generation,
And said, They do always err in their heart:
But they did not know my ways;
11 [j]As I sware in my wrath,
[k]They shall not enter into my rest.

12 Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God: 13 but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin: 14 for we are become partakers [l]of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end: 15 while it is said,

[m]To-day if ye shall hear his voice,
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

16 For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses? 17 And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose [n]bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient? 19 And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.

Jesus Greater Than Moses

Therefore, holy brothers and sisters,(A) who share in the heavenly calling,(B) fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge(C) as our apostle and high priest.(D) He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.(E) Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses,(F) just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.(G) “Moses was faithful as a servant(H) in all God’s house,”[a](I) bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. But Christ is faithful as the Son(J) over God’s house. And we are his house,(K) if indeed we hold firmly(L) to our confidence and the hope(M) in which we glory.

Warning Against Unbelief

So, as the Holy Spirit says:(N)

“Today, if you hear his voice,
    do not harden your hearts(O)
as you did in the rebellion,
    during the time of testing in the wilderness,
where your ancestors tested and tried me,
    though for forty years they saw what I did.(P)
10 That is why I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,
    and they have not known my ways.’
11 So I declared on oath in my anger,(Q)
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ (R)[b](S)

12 See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.(T) 13 But encourage one another daily,(U) as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.(V) 14 We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold(W) our original conviction firmly to the very end.(X) 15 As has just been said:

“Today, if you hear his voice,
    do not harden your hearts
    as you did in the rebellion.”[c](Y)

16 Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?(Z) 17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness?(AA) 18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest(AB) if not to those who disobeyed?(AC) 19 So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.(AD)
