CLV(i)
1 Whence, holy brethren, partners of a celestial calling, consider the Apostle and Chief Priest of our avowal, Jesus,
2 Who is faithful to Him Who makes Him, as Moses also was in His whole house."
3 For this One is counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by as much as He Who constructs it has more honor than the house."
4 For every house is constructed by someone, yet He Who constructs all is God."
5 And Moses, indeed, was faithful in His whole house as an attendant, for a testimony of that which shall be spoken."
6 Yet Christ, as a Son over His house-Whose house we are, that is, if we should be retaining the boldness and the glorying of the expectation confirmed unto the consummation."
7 Wherefore, according as the holy spirit is saying, "Today, if ever His voice you should be hearing,
8 You should not be hardening your hearts as in the embitterment, In the day of trial in the wilderness,
9 Where your fathers try Me in the testing, And were acquainted with My acts forty years."
10 Wherefore, "I am disgusted with this generation, and said, 'Ever are they straying in heart; Yet they know not My ways.'"
11 As I swear in My indignation, 'If they shall be entering into My stopping-!'"
12 Beware, brethren, lest at some time there shall be in any one of you a wicked heart of unbelief, in withdrawing from the living God."
13 But entreat yourselves each day, until what is called "today,lest anyone of you may be hardened by the seduction of sin."
14 For we have become partners of Christ, that is, if we should be retaining the beginning of the assumption confirmed unto the consummation,
15 while it is being said, "Today, if ever His voice you should be hearing, You should not be hardening your hearts as in the embitterment."
16 For some who hear embitter Him; but not all those coming out of Egypt through Moses.
17 Now with whom is He disgusted forty years? Was it not with those who sin, whose carcasses fall in the wilderness?
18 Now to whom does He swear, not to be entering into His stopping, except to the stubborn?
19 And we are observing that they could not enter because of unbelief.
