Hebrews 3:14-19
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
14 For we [a]have become fellows with Christ (the Messiah) and share in all He has for us, if only we hold our first newborn confidence and original assured expectation [in virtue of which we are believers] firm and unshaken to the end.
15 Then while it is [still] called Today, if you would hear His voice and when you hear it, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion [in the desert, when the people provoked and irritated and embittered God against them].(A)
16 For who were they who heard and yet were rebellious and provoked [Him]? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?
17 And with whom was He irritated and provoked and grieved for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose [b]dismembered bodies were strewn and left in the desert?
18 And to whom did He swear that they should not enter His rest, but to those who disobeyed [who had not listened to His word and who refused to be compliant or be persuaded]?
19 So we see that they were not able to enter [into His rest], because of their unwillingness to adhere to and trust in and rely on God [unbelief had shut them out].(B)

Hebrews 3:14-19
New International Version
14 We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold(A) our original conviction firmly to the very end.(B) 15 As has just been said:
16 Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?(D) 17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness?(E) 18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest(F) if not to those who disobeyed?(G) 19 So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.(H)
