Therefore, aholy brethren, partakers of a bheavenly calling, consider Jesus, cthe Apostle and dHigh Priest of our econfession;Acts 1:15; Heb 2:11; 3:12; 10:19; 13:22Phil 3:14John 17:3Heb 2:17; 4:14f; 5:5, 10; 6:20; 7:26, 28; 8:1, 3; 9:11; 10:212 Cor 9:13; Heb 4:14; 10:23 2 1He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as aMoses also was in all His house.Lit Being faithfulEx 40:16; Num 12:7; Heb 3:5 3 aFor He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house.2 Cor 3:7-11 4 For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. 5 Now aMoses was faithful in all His house as ba servant, cfor a testimony of those things dwhich were to be spoken later;Ex 40:16; Num 12:7; Heb 3:2Ex 14:31; Num 12:7Deut 18:18fHeb 1:1 6 but Christ was faithful as aa Son over His house—bwhose house we are, cif we hold fast our dconfidence and the boast of our ehope firm until the end.Heb 1:21 Cor 3:16; 1 Tim 3:15Rom 11:22; Heb 3:14; 4:14Eph 3:12; Heb 4:16; 10:19, 35Heb 6:11; 7:19; 10:23; 11:1; 1 Pet 1:3
7 Therefore, just as athe Holy Spirit says,“bTODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,Acts 28:25; Heb 9:8; 10:15Ps 95:7; Heb 3:15; 4:7
12 aTake care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart 1that falls away from bthe living God.Lit in fallingCol 2:8; Heb 12:25Matt 16:16; Heb 9:14; 10:31; 12:22 13 But aencourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the bdeceitfulness of sin.Heb 10:24fEph 4:22 14 For we have become partakers of Christ, aif we hold fast the beginning of our bassurance firm until the end,Heb 3:6Heb 11:1 15 while it is said,“aTODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS 1WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME.”Lit in the rebellionPs 95:7f; Heb 3:7; 4:7 16 For who aprovoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, bdid not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?Jer 32:29; 44:3, 8Num 14:2, 11, 30; Deut 1:35, 36, 38 17 And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, awhose bodies fell in the wilderness?Num 14:29; 1 Cor 10:5 18 And to whom did He swear athat they would not enter His rest, but to those who were bdisobedient?Num 14:23; Deut 1:34f; Heb 4:2Rom 11:30-32; Heb 4:6, 11 19 So we see that they were not able to enter because of aunbelief.John 3:18, 36; Rom 11:23; Heb 3:12
