Comparado con Moisés

Por lo tanto, hermanos, ustedes los del pueblo santo, que han sido llamados por Dios a ser suyos, consideren atentamente a Cristo Jesús, el Apóstol y Sumo sacerdote, gracias al cual profesamos nuestra fe. Pues Jesús ha sido fiel a Dios, que lo nombró para este servicio, como también Moisés fue fiel en su servicio en toda la casa de Dios. Pero a Jesús se le ha concedido más honor que a Moisés, del mismo modo que el que hace una casa recibe más honor que la casa misma. Toda casa tiene que estar hecha por alguien; pero Dios es el que hizo todo lo que existe. Así pues, Moisés, como siervo, fue fiel en toda la casa de Dios, y su servicio consistió en ser testigo de las cosas que Dios había de decir. Pero Cristo, como Hijo, es fiel sobre esta casa de Dios que somos nosotros mismos, si mantenemos la seguridad y la alegría en la esperanza que tenemos.

Exhortación a la fidelidad

Por eso, como dice el Espíritu Santo en la Escritura:

«Si hoy escuchan ustedes lo que Dios dice,
no endurezcan su corazón como aquellos que se rebelaron
y pusieron a Dios a prueba en el desierto.
Allí me pusieron a prueba los antepasados de ustedes,
aun cuando habían visto mis obras durante cuarenta años.
10 Por eso me enojé con aquella generación,
y dije: “Andan siempre extraviados en su corazón,
y no han querido conocer mis caminos.”
11 Por eso juré en mi furor
que no entrarían en mi reposo.»

12 Hermanos, cuídense de que ninguno de ustedes tenga un corazón tan malo e incrédulo que se aparte del Dios viviente. 13 Al contrario, anímense unos a otros cada día, mientras dura ese «hoy» de que habla la Escritura, para que ninguno de ustedes sea engañado por el pecado y su corazón se vuelva rebelde. 14 Porque nosotros tenemos parte con Cristo, con tal de que nos mantengamos firmes hasta el fin en la confianza que teníamos al principio.

15 Por lo cual dice:

«Si hoy escuchan ustedes lo que Dios dice,
no endurezcan su corazón como aquellos que se rebelaron.»

16 ¿Y quiénes fueron los que se rebelaron después de haber oído la voz de Dios? Pues todos los que Moisés había sacado de la tierra de Egipto. 17 ¿Y con quiénes estuvo Dios enojado durante cuarenta años? Con los que pecaron, los cuales cayeron muertos en el desierto. 18 ¿Y a quiénes juró Dios que no entrarían en su reposo? A los que desobedecieron. 19 Y, en efecto, vemos que no pudieron entrar porque no creyeron.

The Son Was Faithful

Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as (A)Moses also was faithful in all His house. 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. For every house is built by someone, but (C)He who built all things is God. (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, 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)

Therefore, as (K)the Holy Spirit says:

(L)“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
In the day of trial in the wilderness,
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.

Jesus Greater Than Moses

Therefore, holy brothers,[a] you who share in (A)a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, (B)the apostle and high priest of our confession, who was faithful to him who appointed him, (C)just as Moses also was faithful in all God's[b] house. For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. (For every house is built by someone, but (D)the builder of all things is God.) (E)Now Moses was faithful in all God's house (F)as a servant, (G)to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, but Christ is faithful over God's house as (H)a son. And (I)we are his house, if indeed we (J)hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.[c]

A Rest for the People of God

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,

(K)“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
    on the day of testing in the wilderness,
where your fathers put me to the test
    and saw my works for (L)forty years.
10 Therefore I was provoked with that generation,
and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart;
    they have not known my ways.’
11 (M)As I swore in my wrath,
    ‘They shall not enter my rest.’”

12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from (N)the living God. 13 But (O)exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by (P)the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have come to share in Christ, (Q)if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. 15 As it is said,

(R)“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

16 For (S)who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not (T)all those who left Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, (U)whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did he swear that (V)they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that (W)they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
