The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

3:1WHEREFORE, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

3:2Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

3:3For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.

3:4For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

3:5And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

3:6But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

3:7Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

3:8Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

3:9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

3:10Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

3:11So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
