Hebrews 3
Modern English Version
Jesus Superior to Moses
3 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers in a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Jesus Christ, 2 who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses was faithful in all His house. 3 For the One was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, in that He who builds the house has more honor than the house itself. 4 For every house is built by someone, but the One who builds all things is God. 5 Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, testifying about those things that were to be spoken later. 6 But Christ is faithful over God’s house as a Son, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of our hope firm to the end.
A Rest for God’s People
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:
“Today, if you hear His voice,
8 do not harden your hearts
as in the rebellion,
on the day of temptation in the wilderness,
9 where your fathers tested Me and tried Me
and saw My works for 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.’ ”[a]
12 Be attentive, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, and you depart from the living God. 13 But 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 firmly to the end, 15 while it is said:
“Today, if you will hear His voice,
do not harden your hearts
as in the rebellion.”[b]
16 For who were they who heard and rebelled? Was it not all of those who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? 17 And with whom was He grieved for forty years? Was it not with those who had sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who disobeyed? 19 So we see that they could not enter because of unbelief.

Kristus är större än Mose
3 (A) Därför, ni heliga bröder som har fått del av en himmelsk kallelse, se på Jesus, den apostel[a] och överstepräst som vi bekänner oss till. 2 (B) Han var betrodd av[b] den som insatte honom, liksom Mose var betrodd i hela Guds hus.[c]
3 (C) Men Jesus är värd mer ära än Mose, liksom husbyggaren hedras mer än själva huset. 4 Varje hus är byggt av någon, men Gud är den som har byggt allt. 5 (D) Mose var betrodd i hela Guds hus, som en tjänare, för att vittna om det som sedan skulle förkunnas. 6 (E) Men Kristus är betrodd som Son att råda över Guds hus. Och hans hus är vi, när vi håller fast vid vår frimodighet och ära i hoppet.
Varning för förhärdelse
7 (F) Därför säger den helige Ande:[d]
I dag, om ni hör hans röst,
8 förhärda inte era hjärtan
som vid upproret,[e]
som på prövningens dag i öknen,
9 (G) där era fäder frestade mig
och prövade mig
fast de sett mina gärningar
i fyrtio år.
10 Därför var jag vred på det släktet,
och jag sade:
De är ständigt vilsna
i sina hjärtan,
de känner inte mina vägar.
11 (H) Så svor jag i min vrede:
De ska aldrig komma in
i min vila.
12 (I) Bröder, se till att ingen av er har ett ont och trolöst hjärta så att han avfaller från den levande Guden. 13 Uppmuntra varandra i stället varje dag, så länge det heter i dag, så att ingen av er förhärdas genom syndens makt att bedra.
14 (J) Vi är Kristi vänner[f] om vi stadigt håller fast vid vår första tillförsikt[g] ända till slutet. 15 Det heter: I dag, om ni hör hans röst, förhärda inte era hjärtan som vid upproret.[h]
16 Vilka var det då som hörde men ändå gjorde uppror? Var det inte alla de som Mose förde ut ur Egypten? 17 (K) Och vilka var han vred på i fyrtio år? Var det inte på dem som syndade och blev liggande som lik i öknen? 18 (L) Och vilka gällde hans ed att de aldrig skulle komma in i hans vila, om inte dem som vägrade lyda? 19 Vi ser alltså att det var på grund av otro som de inte kunde komma in.

Hebrews 3
Contemporary English Version
Jesus Is Greater than Moses
3 My friends, God has chosen you to be his holy people. So think about Jesus, the one we call our apostle and high priest! 2 (A) Jesus was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in serving all[a] God's people. 3 But Jesus deserves more honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house deserves more honor than the house. 4 Of course, every house is built by someone, and God is really the one who built everything.
5 Moses was a faithful servant and told God's people what would be said in the future. 6 But Christ is the Son in charge of God's people. And we are those people, if we keep on being brave and don't lose hope.
A Rest for God's People
7 (B) It is just as the Holy Spirit says,
“If you hear God's voice today,
8 don't be stubborn!
Don't rebel like those people
who were tested
in the desert.
* 9 [b] For forty years your ancestors
tested God and saw
the things he did.
10 “Then God got tired of them
and said,
‘You people never
show good sense,
and you don't understand
what I want you to do.’
11 God became angry
and told the people,
‘You will never enter
my place of rest!’ ”
12 My friends, watch out! Don't let evil thoughts or doubts make any of you turn from the living God. 13 You must encourage one another each day. And you must keep on while there is still a time that can be called “today.” If you don't, then sin may fool some of you and make you stubborn. 14 We were sure about Christ when we first became his people. So let's hold tightly to our faith until the end. 15 (C) The Scriptures say,
“If you hear his voice today,
don't be stubborn
like those who rebelled.”
16 (D) Who were those people that heard God's voice and rebelled? Weren't they the same ones that came out of Egypt with Moses? 17 Who were the people that made God angry for 40 years? Weren't they the ones that sinned and died in the desert? 18 And who did God say would never enter his place of rest? Weren't they the ones that disobeyed him? 19 We see that those people did not enter the place of rest because they did not have faith.

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)
