Geneva Bible (1599)Hebrews 3

¹ Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heauenly vocation, consider the Apostle and high Priest of our profession Christ Iesus:

² Who was faithfull to him that hath appointed him, euen as Moses was in al his house.

³ For this man is counted worthy of more glory then Moses, inasmuch as he which hath builded the house, hath more honour then the house.

⁴ For euery house is builded of some man, and he that hath built all things, is God.

⁵ Now Moses verely was faithfull in all his house, as a seruant, for a witnesse of the thinges which should be spoken after.

⁶ But Christ is as the Sonne, ouer his owne house, whose house we are, if we holde fast that confidence and that reioycing of that hope vnto the ende.

⁷ Wherefore, as the holy Ghost sayth, To day if ye shall heare his voyce,

⁸ Harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation, according to the day of the tentation in the wildernes,

⁹ Where your fathers tempted me, prooued me, and sawe my workes fourtie yeeres long.

¹⁰ Wherefore I was grieued with that generation, and sayde, They erre euer in their heart, neither haue they knowen my wayes.

¹¹ Therefore I sware in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.

¹² Take heede, brethren, least at any time there be in any of you an euill heart, and vnfaithfull, to depart away from the liuing God.

¹³ But exhort one another dayly, while it is called to day, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulnes of sinne.

¹⁴ For we are made partakers of Christ, if we keepe sure vnto the ende that beginning, wherewith we are vpholden,

¹⁵ So long as it is sayd, To day if ye heare his voyce, harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation.

¹⁶ For some when they heard, prouoked him to anger: howbeit, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

¹⁷ But with whome was he displeased fourtie yeeres? Was hee not displeased with them that sinned, whose carkeises fell in the wildernes?

¹⁸ And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but vnto them that obeyed not?

¹⁹ So we see that they could not enter in, because of vnbeliefe.
