1. Therefore, holy "brothers," sharing in a heavenly calling, reflect on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,
|
1. Wherefore G3606 , holy G40 brethren G80 , partakers G3353 of the heavenly G2032 calling G2821 , consider G2657 the G3588 Apostle G652 and G2532 High Priest G749 of our G2257 profession G3671 , Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 ;
|
|
2. who was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was "faithful in (all) his house."
|
2. Who was G5607 faithful G4103 to him that appointed G4160 him G846 , as G5613 also G2532 Moses G3475 was faithful in G1722 all G3650 his G846 house G3624 .
|
|
3. But he is worthy of more "glory" than Moses, as the founder of a house has more "honor" than the house itself.
|
3. For G1063 this G3778 man was counted worthy G515 of more G4119 glory G1391 than G3844 Moses G3475 , inasmuch G2596 G3745 as he who hath builded G2680 the house G846 hath G2192 more G4119 honor G5092 than the G3588 house G3624 .
|
|
4. Every house is founded by someone, but the founder of all is God.
|
4. For G1063 every G3956 house G3624 is builded G2680 by G5259 some G5100 man ; but G1161 he that built G2680 all things G3956 is God G2316 .
|
|
5. Moses was "faithful in all his house" as a "servant" to testify to what would be spoken,
|
5. And G2532 Moses G3475 verily G3303 was faithful G4103 in G1722 all G3650 his G846 house G3624 , as G5613 a servant G2324 , for G1519 a testimony G3142 of those things which were to be spoken after G2980 ;
|
|
6. but Christ was faithful as a son placed over his house. We are his house, if (only) we hold fast to our confidence and pride in our hope.
|
6. But G1161 Christ G5547 as G5613 a son G5207 over G1909 his own G848 house G3624 ; whose G3739 house G3624 are G2070 we G2249 , if G1437 G4007 we hold fast G2722 the G3588 confidence G3954 and G2532 the G3588 rejoicing G2745 of the G3588 hope G1680 firm G949 unto G3360 the end G5056 .
|
|
7. Therefore, as the holy Spirit says: "Oh, that today you would hear his voice,
|
7. Wherefore G1352 ( as G2531 the G3588 Holy G40 Ghost G4151 saith G3004 , Today G4594 if G1437 ye will hear G191 his G846 voice G5456 ,
|
|
8. 'Harden not your hearts as at the rebellion in the day of testing in the desert,
|
8. Harden G4645 not G3361 your G5216 hearts G2588 , as G5613 in G1722 the G3588 provocation G3894 , in G2596 the G3588 day G2250 of temptation G3986 in G1722 the G3588 wilderness G2048 :
|
|
9. where your ancestors tested and tried me and saw my works
|
9. When G3757 your G5216 fathers G3962 tempted G3985 me G3165 , proved G1381 me G3165 , and G2532 saw G1492 my G3450 works G2041 forty G5062 years G2094 .
|
|
10. for forty years. Because of this I was provoked with that generation and I said, "They have always been of erring heart, and they do not know my ways."
|
10. Wherefore G1352 I was grieved G4360 with that G1565 generation G1074 , and G2532 said G2036 , They do always G104 err G4105 in their heart G2588 ; and G1161 they G846 have not G3756 known G1097 my G3450 ways G3598 .
|
|
11. As I swore in my wrath, "They shall not enter into my rest."'"
|
11. So G5613 I swore G3660 in G1722 my G3450 wrath G3709 , They G1487 shall not enter G1525 into G1519 my G3450 rest G2663 .)
|
|
12. Take care, brothers, that none of you may have an evil and unfaithful heart, so as to forsake the living God.
|
12. Take heed G991 , brethren G80 , lest G3379 there be G2071 in G1722 any G5100 of you G5216 an evil G4190 heart G2588 of unbelief G570 , in departing G868 from G575 the living G2198 God G2316 .
|
|
13. Encourage yourselves daily while it is still "today," so that none of you may grow hardened by the deceit of sin.
|
13. But G235 exhort G3870 one another G1438 daily G2596 G1538 G2250 , while G891 G3757 it G3588 is called G2564 Today G4594 ; lest G3363 any G5100 of G1537 you G5216 be hardened G4645 through the deceitfulness G539 of sin G266 .
|
|
14. We have become partners of Christ if only we hold the beginning of the reality firm until the end,
|
14. For G1063 we are made G1096 partakers G3353 of Christ G5547 , if G1437 G4007 we hold G2722 the G3588 beginning G746 of our confidence G5287 steadfast G949 unto G3360 the end G5056 ;
|
|
15. for it is said: "Oh, that today you would hear his voice: 'Harden not your hearts as at the rebellion.'"
|
15. While it is said G3004 , Today G4594 if G1437 ye will hear G191 his G846 voice G5456 , harden G4645 not G3361 your G5216 hearts G2588 , as G5613 in G1722 the G3588 provocation G3894 .
|
|
16. Who were those who rebelled when they heard? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt under Moses?
|
16. For G1063 some G5100 , when they had heard G191 , did provoke G3893 : howbeit G235 not G3756 all G3956 that came G1831 out of G1537 Egypt G125 by G1223 Moses G3475 .
|
|
17. With whom was he "provoked for forty years"? Was it not those who had sinned, whose corpses fell in the desert?
|
17. But G1161 with whom G5101 was he grieved G4360 forty G5062 years G2094 ? was it not G3780 with them that had sinned G264 , whose G3739 carcasses G2966 fell G4098 in G1722 the G3588 wilderness G2048 ?
|
|
18. And to whom did he "swear that they should not enter into his rest," if not to those who were disobedient?
|
18. And G1161 to whom G5101 swore G3660 he that they should not G3361 enter G1525 into G1519 his G848 rest G2663 , but G1508 to them that believed not G544 ?
|
|
19. And we see that they could not enter for lack of faith.
|
19. So G2532 we see G991 that G3754 they could G1410 not G3756 enter in G1525 because G1223 of unbelief G570 .
