Hebräer Kapitel - 3

CHAP. III.

1 Christ is more worthy then Moses, 7 therefore if we beleeue not in him, we shalbe more worthy punishmēt then hard hearted Israel.

¹

¹ Wherfore holy brethrē, partakers of the heauenly calling, consider the Apostle and high Priest of our profession Christ Iesus,

²

² Who was faithful to him that ⁺appointed him, as also Moses was faithfull in all his house. [ ⁺Gr. made, 1.Sam.12.6 ]

³

³ For this man was counted worthy of more glory then Moses, in as much as he who hath builded the house, hath more honour then the house.

⁴

⁴ For euery house is builded by some man, but hee that built all things is God.

⁵

⁵ And Moses verely was faithfull in all his house as a seruant, for a testimonie of those things which were to be spoken after.

⁶

⁶ But Christ as a Sonne ouer his owne house, whose house are wee, if we hold fast the confidence, and the reioycing of the hope firme vnto the end.

⁷

⁷ Wherfore as the holy Ghost saith, ^*To day if ye will heare his voyce, [ ^*Psal.95.7. ]

⁸

⁸ Harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation, in the day of temptation in the wildernesse:

⁹

⁹ When your fathers tempted me, prooued me, and saw my works fourty yeeres.

¹⁰

¹⁰ Wherefore I was grieued with that generation, and sayd, They doe alway erre in their hearts, and they haue not knowen my wayes.

¹¹

¹¹ So I sware in my wrath: ⁺they shall not enter into my rest. [ ⁺Gr. if they shall enter. ]

¹²

¹² Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an euill heart of vnbeleefe, in departing from the liuing God.

¹³

¹³ But exhort one another dayly, while it is called To day, least any of you be hardned through the deceitfulnesse of sinne.

¹⁴

¹⁴ For wee are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast vnto the end.

¹⁵

¹⁵ Whilest it is sayd, To day if yee will heare his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation.

¹⁶

¹⁶ For some when they had heard, did prouoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

¹⁷

¹⁷ But with whom was he grieued fourty yeeres? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wildernesse?

¹⁸

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

¹⁹

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