Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.[b](F)

12 Watch out, brothers, lest there be in some of you an evil, unbelieving heart, with the result that you fall away[a] from the living God. 13 But encourage one another day by day[b], as long as it is called “today,” so that none of you become hardened[c] by the deception of sin. 14 For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of our commitment steadfast until the end, 15 while it is said[d],

“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”[e]
