Hebrews 3:5-14

English Standard Version

⁵^(A)Now Moses was faithful in all God's house ^(B)as a servant, ^(C)to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, ⁶but Christ is faithful over God's house as ^(D)a son. And ^(E)we are his house, if indeed we ^(F)hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.^[a]

A Rest for the People of God

⁷Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,

^(G)“Today, if you hear his voice,
⁸do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
    on the day of testing in the wilderness,
⁹where your fathers put me to the test
    and saw my works for ^(H)forty years.
¹⁰Therefore I was provoked with that generation,
and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart;
    they have not known my ways.’
¹¹^(I)As I swore in my wrath,
    ‘They shall not enter my rest.’”

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