| 3:1 | [kjv] | Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; |
| | [bbe] | For this reason, holy brothers, marked out to have a part in heaven, give thought to Jesus the representative and high priest of our faith; |
| 3:2 | [kjv] | Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. |
| | [bbe] | Who kept faith with God who gave him his place, even as Moses did in all his house. |
| 3:3 | [kjv] | For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. |
| | [bbe] | And it was right for this man to have more honour than Moses, even as the builder of a house has more honour than the house. |
| 3:4 | [kjv] | For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. |
| | [bbe] | For every house has a builder; but the builder of all things is God. |
| 3:5 | [kjv] | And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; |
| | [bbe] | And Moses certainly kept faith as a servant, in all his house, and as a witness of those things which were to be said later; |
| 3:6 | [kjv] | But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. |
| | [bbe] | But Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we keep our hearts fixed in the glad and certain hope till the end. |
| 3:7 | [kjv] | Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, |
| | [bbe] | And so, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you let his voice come to your ears, |
| 3:8 | [kjv] | Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: |
| | [bbe] | Be not hard of heart, as when you made me angry, on the day of testing in the waste land, |
| 3:9 | [kjv] | When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. |
| | [bbe] | When your fathers put me to the test, and saw my works for forty years. |
| 3:10 | [kjv] | Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. |
| | [bbe] | So that I was angry with this generation, and I said, Their hearts are in error at all times, and they have no knowledge of my ways; |
| 3:11 | [kjv] | So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) |
| | [bbe] | And being angry I made an oath, saying, They may not come into my rest. |
| 3:12 | [kjv] | Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. |
| | [bbe] | My brothers, take care that there is not by chance in any one of you an evil heart without belief, turning away from the living God: |
| 3:13 | [kjv] | But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. |
| | [bbe] | But give comfort to one another every day as long as it is still Today; so that no one among you may be made hard by the deceit of sin: |
| 3:14 | [kjv] | For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; |
| | [bbe] | For if we keep the substance of the faith which we had at the start, even till the end, we have a part with Christ; |
| 3:15 | [kjv] | While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. |
| | [bbe] | As it is said, Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart, as when you made him angry. |
| 3:16 | [kjv] | For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. |
| | [bbe] | Who made him angry when his voice came to them? was it not all those who came out of Egypt with Moses? |
| 3:17 | [kjv] | But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? |
| | [bbe] | And with whom was he angry for forty years? was it not with those who did evil, who came to their deaths in the waste land? |
| 3:18 | [kjv] | And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? |
| | [bbe] | And to whom did he make an oath that they might not come into his rest? was it not to those who went against his orders? |
| 3:19 | [kjv] | So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. |
| | [bbe] | So we see that they were not able to go in because they had no belief. |
