Hebrews 3:1-6
King James Version
3 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Hebrews 3:1-6
Amplified Bible
Jesus Our High Priest
3 Therefore, [a]holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, [thoughtfully and attentively] consider the Apostle and High Priest whom we confessed [as ours when we accepted Him as Savior], namely, [b]Jesus; 2 He was faithful to Him who appointed Him [Apostle and High Priest], as Moses also was faithful in all God’s house.(A) 3 Yet Jesus has been considered worthy of much greater glory and honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has more honor than the house. 4 For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. 5 Now Moses was faithful in [the administration of] all God’s house, [but only] as a ministering servant, [his ministry serving] as a testimony of the things which were to be spoken afterward [the revelation to come in Christ];(B) 6 but Christ is faithful as a Son over His [Father’s] house. And we are His house if we hold fast our confidence and sense of triumph in our hope [in Christ].

Hebrews 3:1-6
English Standard Version
Jesus Greater Than Moses
3 Therefore, holy brothers,[a] you who share in (A)a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, (B)the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, (C)just as Moses also was faithful in all God's[b] house. 3 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. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but (D)the builder of all things is God.) 5 (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, 6 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]

Jesús, superior a Moisés
3 Por tanto, hermanos santos(A), participantes del llamamiento celestial(B), consideren a Jesús, el Apóstol(C) y Sumo Sacerdote(D) de nuestra fe[a](E). 2 El cual fue fiel[b] al que lo designó, como también lo fue Moisés en toda la casa de Dios[c](F). 3 Porque Jesús ha sido considerado digno de más gloria que Moisés(G), así como el constructor de la casa tiene más honra que la casa. 4 Porque toda casa es hecha por alguno, pero el que hace todas las cosas es Dios.
5 Moisés fue fiel en toda la casa de Dios[d](H) como siervo(I), para testimonio(J) de lo que se iba a decir más tarde(K). 6 Pero Cristo[e] fue fiel como Hijo sobre la casa de Dios(L), cuya casa somos nosotros(M), si retenemos firme(N) hasta el fin nuestra confianza(O) y la gloria[f] de nuestra esperanza(P).
