Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

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.

For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

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.

Jesus Our High Priest

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; He was faithful to Him who appointed Him [Apostle and High Priest], as Moses also was faithful in all God’s house.(A) 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. For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. 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) 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].

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]

Jesús, superior a Moisés

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). El cual fue fiel[b] al que lo designó, como también lo fue Moisés en toda la casa de Dios[c](F). 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. Porque toda casa es hecha por alguno, pero el que hace todas las cosas es Dios.

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). 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).
