The Holy Bible: King James Version. 2000.
Christ Superior to Moses |
| 1 |
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
|
| 2 |
who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. Num. 12.7
|
| 3 |
For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honor than the house.
|
| 4 |
For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
|
| 5 |
And Moses verily was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
|
| 6 |
but 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.

A Rest for the People of God |
| 7 |
¶ Wherefore as the Holy Ghost saith,
| | |
Today if ye will hear his voice, |
|
|
| 8 |
harden not your hearts, as in the provocation,
| | |
in the day of temptation in the wilderness: |
|
|
| 9 |
when your fathers tempted me, proved me,
| | |
and saw my works forty years. |
|
|
| 10 |
Wherefore I was grieved with that generation,
| | |
and said, They do always err in their heart; |
|
and they have not known my ways. |
|
|
| 11 |
So I sware in my wrath,
|
| 12 |
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
|
| 13 |
But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
|
| 14 |
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end;
|
| 15 |
while it is said,
| | |
Today if ye will hear his voice, |
|
harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. Ps. 95.7, 8 |
|
|
| 16 |
For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
|
| 17 |
But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
|
| 18 |
And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? Num. 14.1-35
|
| 19 |
So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
