The Epistle to the Hebrews

Douay-Rheims :: World English Bible Catholic

- Kapitel 3 -

1
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus:
2
Who is faithful to him that made him, as was also Moses in all his house.
3
For this man was counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as he that hath built the house, hath greater honour than the house.
4
For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things, is God.
5
And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be said:
6
But Christ as the Son in his own house: which house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and glory of hope unto the end.

Do Not Harden Your Hearts

(Psalm 95:1–11)
7
Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith: Today if you shall hear his voice,
8
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation; in the day of temptation in the desert,
9
Where your fathers tempted me, proved and saw my works,
10
Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I said: They always err in heart. And they have not known my ways,
11
As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest.

The Peril of Unbelief

12
Take heed, brethren, lest perhaps there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God.
13
But exhort one another every day, whilst it is called today, that none of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14
For we are made partakers of Christ: yet so, if we hold the beginning of his substance firm unto the end.
15
While it is said, Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in that provocation.
16
For some who heard did provoke: but not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17
And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert?
18
And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous?
19
And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.
1
Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus,
2
who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also Moses was in all his house.
3
For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who built the house has more honor than the house.
4
For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.
5
Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,
6
but Christ (a) is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

Do Not Harden Your Hearts

(Psalm 95:1–11)
7
Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says,Today if you will hear his voice,
8
don’t harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
9
where your fathers tested me and tried me, and saw my deeds for forty years.
10
Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they didn’t know my ways.’
11
As I swore in my wrath,They will not enter into my rest.’”(b)

The Peril of Unbelief

12
Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;
13
but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is calledtoday”, lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
14
For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end,
15
while it is said,Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.”(c)
16
For who, when they heard, rebelled? Wasn’t it all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?
17
With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
18
To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
19
We see that they weren’t able to enter in because of unbelief.
