The Letter to the Hebrews 3

3My fellow believers, God has set you apart for himself, and he has summoned us together from heaven. Since I have told you what Jesus has done, you should think about him. God sent him to us, and he is the ruling priest in whom we say we believe. 2He faithfully served God, who made him a ruling priest. He is like Moses, who also faithfully served God as part of God’s people. 3-4 3-4Now each building has a builder who made it, and people rightly praise the builder more than they praise the building. Similarly, God is the builder who made everything. Therefore, people should praise Jesus, who is God, more than they praise Moses, whom God made. 5Moses faithfully served God as one who helped all God’s people. In that way, he already proclaimed what God says now about Jesus. 6But the Messiah is God’s Son, who faithfully rules over God’s people. As long as we persist in boldly and proudly expecting what God will give us, we belong to those same people.

7Since we are God’s people, we should do what the Holy Spirit says:

“This day, when you hear the Father speak to you, 8do not stubbornly disobey him. That is what your ancestors did when they rebelled against God and provoked him while they lived in the wild places. 9While they were in those places, your ancestors provoked God to see what he would do. They did that even though they saw all the amazing things that he did for them 10during a period of 40 years.

So, he was angry with those people, and he said about them, ‘They want to do what is wrong all the time. They do not understand how I want them to behave.’

11So then, because he was angry with them, he solemnly declared, ‘They will never participate in how I rest!’”

12Fellow believers, pay attention! Make sure that none of you think in evil and unbelieving ways that would lead you to become disloyal to the only real God. 13Rather, you should encourage each other to be loyal to God daily, during every day that we call “this day.” That way, none of you sin and thus deceive yourselves, which would make you unable to obey God. 14You should encourage each other, because we share in everything with the Messiah. That is true as long as we persist in trusting him, from when we began to do so until we die. 15You should encourage each other while the Holy Spirit says,

“This day, when you hear God speak to you, do not stubbornly disobey him. That is what your ancestors did when they rebelled against God.”

16Now you know that it was all God’s people, whom Moses led out of the land of Egypt, who listened to God speak and still rebelled against him. 17You know that it was God’s people, who did what was wrong, with whom God was angry for a period of 40 years. They died in the wild places. 18You know that it was God’s people, who did not obey him, to whom he solemnly declared that they would never participate in how he rests. 19So, we can tell that they could not participate in how God rests because they did not trust in him.
