1 Therefore, holy brothers,¹ you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and ^ahigh priest of our ^bconfession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as ^cMoses also was faithful in all God’s² house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) 5 Now ^dMoses was faithful in all God’s house as a ^eservant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God’s house as a ^fson. And ^gwe are his house, ^hif indeed we ⁱhold fast our ^jconfidence and our ^kboasting in our ^lhope.³

7 Therefore, ^mas the Holy Spirit says,

12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 13 But ^rexhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. 15 As it is said,

16 For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, ^twhose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did he ^uswear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were ^vdisobedient? 19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of ^wunbelief.
