Hebrews 3
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.
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Hebrews 3
New King James Version
The Son Was Faithful
3 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, 2 who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as (A)Moses also was faithful in all His house. 3 For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as (B)He who built the house has more honor than the house. 4 For every house is built by someone, but (C)He who built all things is God. 5 (D)And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as (E)a servant, (F)for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward, 6 but Christ as (G)a Son over His own house, (H)whose house we are (I)if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope [a]firm to the end.
Be Faithful(J)
7 Therefore, as (K)the Holy Spirit says:
(L)“Today, if you will hear His voice,
8 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
In the day of trial in the wilderness,
9 Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,
And saw My works forty years.
10 Therefore I was angry with that generation,
And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
And they have not known My ways.’
11 So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”
12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; 13 but [b]exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, 15 while it is said:
(M)“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
Failure of the Wilderness Wanderers
16 (N)For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? 17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, (O)whose corpses fell in the wilderness? 18 And (P)to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of (Q)unbelief.

Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
耶稣比摩西更伟大
3 一同分享天堂召唤的神圣的兄弟们，想一想耶稣，我们所承认的使徒和大祭司吧。 2 他忠于任命他的上帝，就像摩西在上帝的居所尽忠一样。 3 耶稣比摩西配得上更多的荣誉，就像建造房屋的人比房屋本身配得上更多的荣誉那样。 4 每个房屋都是由人建造的，但是，上帝是所有一切的建造者。 5 摩西在上帝的居所像一名仆人处处都是忠诚的，他向人们证实了上帝所说的未来的一切。 6 基督做为上帝的儿子，忠实地管理着上帝的家务。如果我们继续对希望充满勇气与信心，我们就是他的家庭成员。
我们必须继续跟随上帝
7 正如圣灵所说：
“今天，如果你们听到了上帝的声音，
8 不要固执，
不要像从前在荒野中
试探上帝时那样反抗他，
9 你们的祖先考验我，试探我，
尽管他们看到了我的所作所为，
10 达四十年之久。
这就是为什么我对那一代感到
气愤的原因，所以，我说道，
‘他们的思想总是误入歧途，
这些人从未认识我的道路。’
11 所以，我一怒之下发誓说：
‘他们绝不能进入我的安宁。’” (A)
12 兄弟们，你们要当心，谁也不要存罪恶和不信、背弃活生生的上帝之心。 13 只要还存在“今天” [a]，你们就应该每天都互相鼓励，这样，你们才不会有人受到罪恶的愚弄，心肠变硬。 14 只要我们自始至终坚定不移地坚持我们当初的信仰，我们都会与基督共享。 15 正如《经》里写到的：
“今日，如果你们听到上帝的声音，
不要固执，
不要像过去那样对抗上帝。” (B)
16 谁是那听到了上帝的声音，却依然对抗上帝的人呢？难道不是那些被摩西领出埃及的人吗？ 17 是谁惹怒了上帝整整四十年？难道不是那些做了孽、结果陈尸旷野的人吗？ 18 上帝发誓不让谁从他那里得到安息呢？难道不是那些不服从上帝的人吗？ 19 因此，我们知道，因为他们没有信仰，所以他们没有从上帝那里得到安宁。

Hebrews 3
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
Moses a Servant, Christ a Son
3 Therefore, brothers and sisters,[a] holy partners in a heavenly calling, consider that Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses also ‘was faithful in all[b] God’s[c] house.’ 3 Yet Jesus[d] is worthy of more glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has more honour than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) 5 Now Moses was faithful in all God’s[e] house as a servant, to testify to the things that would be spoken later. 6 Christ, however, was faithful over God’s[f] house as a son, and we are his house if we hold firm[g] the confidence and the pride that belong to hope.
Warning against Unbelief
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,
‘Today, if you hear his voice,
8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
as on the day of testing in the wilderness,
9 where your ancestors put me to the test,
though they had seen my works 10 for forty years.
Therefore I was angry with that generation,
and I said, “They always go astray in their hearts,
and they have not known my ways.”
11 As in my anger I swore,
“They will not enter my rest.”’
12 Take care, brothers and sisters,[h] that none of you may have an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. 13 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called ‘today’, so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partners of Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end. 15 As it is said,
‘Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.’
16 Now who were they who heard and yet were rebellious? Was it not all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses? 17 But with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, if not to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
