Hebrews 3:1-6
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
So Consider Jesus As Faithful, Like Moses. But He Is Worthy of More Glory Than Moses
3 Hence[a] holy brothers, partakers[b] of a heavenly calling, consider[c] the Apostle and High Priest of our confession— Jesus— 2 as being faithful[d] to the One having appointed Him, as also was Moses in His[e] whole house. 3 For this One has been considered-worthy of more glory than Moses— to the degree that the One[f] having built the house has more honor than the house.
For Moses Was Faithful As a Servant, But Christ Was Faithful As a Son
4 For every house is built by someone, but[g] the One[h] having built all things is God. 5 And Moses was faithful in His[i] whole house as a servant[j], for[k] a testimony of the things which will[l] be spoken. 6 But Christ was faithful as a Son over His house, whose house we are, if-indeed we hold-on-to our confidence and our boast of the hope.

Jesus Greater Than Moses
3 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) 2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.(E) 3 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. 4 For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.(G) 5 “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. 6 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.
