31Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the apostle and chief priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,+2being stedfast to Him who did appoint him, as also Moses in all his house,+3for of more glory than Moses hath this one been counted worthy, inasmuch as more honour than the house hath he who doth build it,+4for every house is builded by some one, and He who the all things did build is God,+5and Moses indeed was stedfast in all his house, as an attendant, for a testimony of those things that were to be spoken,+6and Christ, as a Son over his house, whose house are we, if the boldness and the rejoicing of the hope unto the end we hold fast.+
7Wherefore, (as the Holy Spirit saith, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear--+8ye may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of the temptation in the wilderness,+9in which tempt Me did your fathers, they did prove Me, and saw My works forty years;+10wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, Always do they go astray in heart, and these have not known My ways;+11so I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest--!')+
The Peril of Unbelief
12See, brethren, lest there shall be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God,+13but exhort ye one another every day, while the To-day is called, that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of the sin,+14for partakers we have become of the Christ, if the beginning of the confidence unto the end we may hold fast,+15in its being said, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear, ye may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation,'+16for certain having heard did provoke, but not all who did come out of Egypt through Moses;+17but with whom was He grieved forty years? was it not with those who did sin, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?+18and to whom did He swear that they shall not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe? --+19and we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.+
