Hebrews 3
International Standard Version
The Messiah is Superior to Moses
3 Therefore, holy brothers, partners in a heavenly calling, keep your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession. 2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was in all God’s[a] household, 3 because he is worthy of greater glory than Moses in the same way that the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. 4 After all, every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. 5 Moses was faithful in all God’s[b] household as a servant who was to testify to what would be said later, 6 but the Messiah[c] was faithful[d] as the Son in charge of God’s[e] household, and we are his household if we hold on to our courage and the hope in which we rejoice.[f]
A Rest for the People of God
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,
“Today, if you hear his voice,
8 do not harden your hearts
as they did when they provoked me
during the time of testing in the wilderness.
9 There your ancestors tested me,
even though they had seen my actions 10 for 40 years.
That is why I was indignant with that generation and said,
‘They are always going astray in their hearts,
and they have not known my ways.’
11 So in my anger I swore a solemn oath
that they would never enter my rest.”[g]
12 See to it, my brothers, that no evil, unbelieving heart is found in any of you, as shown by your turning away from the living God. 13 Instead, continue to encourage 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 because we are the Messiah’s[h] partners only if we hold on to our original confidence to the end.[i] 15 As it is said,
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts
as they did when they provoked me.”[j]
16 Now who heard him and provoked him? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt led[k] by Moses? 17 And with whom was he angry for 40 years? Was it not with those who sinned and whose bodies fell dead in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did he swear that they would never enter his rest? It was to those who disobeyed him, was it not? 19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of their unbelief.

Hebreos 3
Dios Habla Hoy
Comparado con Moisés
3 Por lo tanto, hermanos, ustedes los del pueblo santo, que han sido llamados por Dios a ser suyos, consideren atentamente a Cristo Jesús, el Apóstol y Sumo sacerdote, gracias al cual profesamos nuestra fe. 2 Pues Jesús ha sido fiel a Dios, que lo nombró para este servicio, como también Moisés fue fiel en su servicio en toda la casa de Dios. 3 Pero a Jesús se le ha concedido más honor que a Moisés, del mismo modo que el que hace una casa recibe más honor que la casa misma. 4 Toda casa tiene que estar hecha por alguien; pero Dios es el que hizo todo lo que existe. 5 Así pues, Moisés, como siervo, fue fiel en toda la casa de Dios, y su servicio consistió en ser testigo de las cosas que Dios había de decir. 6 Pero Cristo, como Hijo, es fiel sobre esta casa de Dios que somos nosotros mismos, si mantenemos la seguridad y la alegría en la esperanza que tenemos.
Exhortación a la fidelidad
7 Por eso, como dice el Espíritu Santo en la Escritura:
«Si hoy escuchan ustedes lo que Dios dice,
8 no endurezcan su corazón como aquellos que se rebelaron
y pusieron a Dios a prueba en el desierto.
9 Allí me pusieron a prueba los antepasados de ustedes,
aun cuando habían visto mis obras durante cuarenta años.
10 Por eso me enojé con aquella generación,
y dije: “Andan siempre extraviados en su corazón,
y no han querido conocer mis caminos.”
11 Por eso juré en mi furor
que no entrarían en mi reposo.»
12 Hermanos, cuídense de que ninguno de ustedes tenga un corazón tan malo e incrédulo que se aparte del Dios viviente. 13 Al contrario, anímense unos a otros cada día, mientras dura ese «hoy» de que habla la Escritura, para que ninguno de ustedes sea engañado por el pecado y su corazón se vuelva rebelde. 14 Porque nosotros tenemos parte con Cristo, con tal de que nos mantengamos firmes hasta el fin en la confianza que teníamos al principio.
15 Por lo cual dice:
«Si hoy escuchan ustedes lo que Dios dice,
no endurezcan su corazón como aquellos que se rebelaron.»
16 ¿Y quiénes fueron los que se rebelaron después de haber oído la voz de Dios? Pues todos los que Moisés había sacado de la tierra de Egipto. 17 ¿Y con quiénes estuvo Dios enojado durante cuarenta años? Con los que pecaron, los cuales cayeron muertos en el desierto. 18 ¿Y a quiénes juró Dios que no entrarían en su reposo? A los que desobedecieron. 19 Y, en efecto, vemos que no pudieron entrar porque no creyeron.

Jesus Greater Than Moses
3 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters,(A) who share in the heavenly calling,(B) fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge(C) as our apostle and high priest.(D) 2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.(E) 3 Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses,(F) just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. 4 For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.(G) 5 “Moses was faithful as a servant(H) in all God’s house,”[a](I) bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. 6 But Christ is faithful as the Son(J) over God’s house. And we are his house,(K) if indeed we hold firmly(L) to our confidence and the hope(M) in which we glory.
Warning Against Unbelief
7 So, as the Holy Spirit says:(N)
“Today, if you hear his voice,
8 do not harden your hearts(O)
as you did in the rebellion,
during the time of testing in the wilderness,
9 where your ancestors tested and tried me,
though for forty years they saw what I did.(P)
10 That is why I was angry with that generation;
I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,
and they have not known my ways.’
11 So I declared on oath in my anger,(Q)
‘They shall never enter my rest.’ (R)”[b](S)
12 See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.(T) 13 But encourage one another daily,(U) as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.(V) 14 We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold(W) our original conviction firmly to the very end.(X) 15 As has just been said:
16 Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?(Z) 17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness?(AA) 18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest(AB) if not to those who disobeyed?(AC) 19 So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.(AD)
