12 Watch out, brothers and sisters, so that there won’t be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away(A) from the living God. 13 But encourage each other daily,(B) while it is still called today, so that none of you is hardened(C) by sin’s deception.(D) 14 For we have become participants in Christ if we hold firmly until the end the reality[a] that we had at the start.(E) 15 As it is said:

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

12 Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters.[a] Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God. 13 You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. 14 For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ. 15 Remember what it says:

“Today when you hear his voice,
    don’t harden your hearts
    as Israel did when they rebelled.”[b]
