He calls upon us to hear and honour the word of Christ, who is more worthy than Moses. The punishment of persons who stubbornly harden their hearts.

Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the celestial calling, consider the ambassador and high priest of our profession, Christ Jesus, who was faithful to him who appointed him, even as Moses was in all his house. And yet this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has prepared the house has more honour in the house.

  Every house is built by some man. But he who ordained all things is God. And Moses truly was faithful in all his house, as a servant, to bear witness of those things that were to be spoken afterward. But Christ as a son has rule over the house – whose house we are, if so be that we hold fast the confidence and the assurance of that hope to the end.

Therefore as the Holy Spirit says: Today if you hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the rebellion in the day of trial in the wilderness, where your fathers tried me, proved me, and saw my works forty years long. 10 Therefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do ever err in their hearts; they have not acknowledged my ways. 11 So I swore in my wrath that they would not enter into my rest.

12 Take heed, brethren, that there be in none of you an evil heart in unbelief, that he should depart from the living God; 13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called today, lest any of you grow hard-hearted through the deceitfulness of sin.

14 We are partakers of Christ if we keep sure until the end the first confidence, 15 as long as it is said: Today, if you hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as when you rebelled. 16 For some, when they heard, rebelled – though not everyone who came out of Egypt under Moses. 17 But with whom was he displeased for forty years? Was he not displeased with those who sinned, whose bodies were overthrown in the desert? 18 To whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, but to those who did not believe? 19 And we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Kaya, mga banal na kapatid, mga may bahagi sa pagtawag ng kalangitan, inyong isipin ang Apostol at Dakilang Saserdote na ating kinikilala, si Jesus;

Na siya'y tapat sa naglagay sa kaniya na gaya rin naman ni Moises sa buong sangbahayan niya.

Sapagka't siya ay inaring may karapatan sa lalong kaluwalhatian kay sa kay Moises, palibhasa'y may lalong karangalan kay sa bahay yaong nagtayo ng bahay.

Sapagka't ang bawa't bahay ay may nagtayo; datapuwa't ang nagtayo ng lahat ng mga bagay ay ang Dios.

At sa katotohanang si Moises ay tapat sa buong sangbahayan niya gaya ng lingkod, na pinakapatotoo sa mga bagay na sasabihin pagkatapos;

Datapuwa't si Cristo, gaya ng anak ay puno sa bahay niya; na ang bahay niya ay tayo, kung ating ingatang matibay ang ating pagkakatiwala at pagmamapuri sa pagasa natin hanggang sa katapusan.

Gaya nga ng sabi ng Espiritu Santo, Ngayon kung marinig ninyo ang kaniyang tinig,

Huwag ninyong papagmatigasin ang inyong mga puso, na gaya ng sa pamumungkahi, Gaya nang sa araw ng pagtukso sa ilang,

Na doon ako tinukso ng inyong mga magulang sa pagsubok sa akin, At apat na pung taon na nangakita ang aking mga gawa.

10 Dahil dito'y nagalit ako sa lahing ito, At aking sinabi, Laging sila'y nangagkakamali sa kanilang puso: Nguni't hindi nila nangakilala ang aking mga daan;

11 Ano pa't aking isinumpa sa aking kagalitan, Sila'y hindi magsisipasok sa aking kapahingahan.

12 Magsipagingat kayo, mga kapatid, baka sakaling mayroon sa kanino man sa inyo ng isang pusong masama na walang pananampalataya, na naghihiwalay sa inyo sa Dios na buhay:

13 Nguni't kayo'y mangagpangaralan sa isa't isa araw-araw, samantalang sinasabi, Ngayon; baka papagmatigasin ang sinoman sa inyo ng daya ng kasalanan:

14 Sapagka't tayo'y nagiging kabahagi ni Cristo, kung ating iniingatang matibay ang pasimula ng ating pagkakatiwala hanggang sa katapusan:

15 Samantalang sinasabi, Ngayon kung marinig ninyo ang kaniyang tinig, Huwag ninyong papagmatigasin ang inyong mga puso, na gaya ng sa pamumungkahi.

16 Sapagka't sino-sino, na pagkarinig ay namungkahi? nguni't, hindi baga yaong lahat na nagsialis sa Egipto sa pamamagitan ni Moises?

17 At sino-sino ang kinagalitan niyang apat na pung taon? hindi baga yaong nangagkasala, na ang kanilang mga katawan ay nangabuwal sa ilang?

18 At sa kani-kanino isinumpa niyang hindi makapapasok sa kaniyang kapahingahan, kundi yaong mga nagsisuway?

19 At nakikita natin na sila'y hindi nangakapasok dahil sa kawalan ng pananampalataya.

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.

Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

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.
