Chapter 3
Jesus Superior to Moses
| 1 Ὅθεν, ἀδελφοὶ ἅγιοι, κλήσεως ἐπουρανίου μέτοχοι, κατανοήσατε τὸν ἀπόστολον καὶ ἀρχιερέα τῆς ὁμολογίας ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν, 2 πιστὸν ὄντα τῷ ποιήσαντι αὐτὸν ὡς καὶ Μωϋσῆς ἐν [ὅλῳ] τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ. 3 πλείονος γὰρ οὗτος δόξης παρὰ Μωϋσῆν ἠξίωται, καθ' ὅσον πλείονα τιμὴν ἔχει τοῦ οἴκου ὁ κατασκευάσας αὐτόν· 4 πᾶς γὰρ οἶκος κατασκευάζεται ὑπὸ τινος, ὁ δὲ πάντα κατασκευάσας θεός. |
| 1Therefore, holy brothers, partners in a heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession. 2He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was in all God’s house. 3For this man has been deemed worthy of more glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. |
| 5 καὶ Μωϋσῆς μὲν πιστὸς ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ ὡς θεράπων εἰς μαρτύριον τῶν λαληθησομένων, 6 Χριστὸς δὲ ὡς υἱὸς ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ· οὗ οἶκός ἐσμεν ἡμεῖς, ἐὰν τὴν παρρησίαν καὶ τὸ καύχημα τῆς ἐλπίδος κατάσχωμεν. |
| 5Now Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, to testify to the things that would be spoken later; 6but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house. We are that house, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope. |
The Peril of Unbelief

Διό,
καθὼς
λέγει
τὸ
πνεῦμα
τὸ
ἅγιον,
Σήμερον
ἐὰν
τῆς
φωνῆς
αὐτοῦ
ἀκούσητε,
8 μὴ σκληρύνητε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ὡς ἐν τῷ παραπικρασμῷ κατὰ τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ πειρασμοῦ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, 9 οὗ ἐπείρασαν οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν ἐν δοκιμασίᾳ καὶ εἶδον τὰ ἔργα μου 10 τεσσεράκοντα ἔτη· διὸ προσώχθισα τῇ γενεᾷ ταύτῃ καὶ εἶπον. Ἀεὶ πλανῶνται τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοὶ δὲ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τὰς ὁδούς μου, 11 ὡς ὤμοσα ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ μου· Εἰ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὴν κατάπαυσιν μου. {Psalm 95:7-11} |
|
7Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:
“Today, if you hear His voice,
8do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, during the day of testing in the wilderness, 9where your fathers tested Me by trial and saw My works 10for forty years. Therefore I was provoked with that generation and said: ‘They always go astray in their heart; they have not known My ways.’ 11As I swore in My anger: ‘They shall certainly not enter My rest.’” {Psalm 95:7-11} |
| 12 Βλέπετε, ἀδελφοί, μήποτε ἔσται ἔν τινι ὑμῶν καρδία πονηρὰ ἀπιστίας ἐν τῷ ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ θεοῦ ζῶντος, 13 ἀλλὰ παρακαλεῖτε ἑαυτοὺς καθ' ἑκάστην ἡμέραν, ἄχρις οὗ τὸ Σήμερον καλεῖται, ἵνα μὴ σκληρυνθῇ τις ἐξ ὑμῶν ἀπάτῃ τῆς ἁμαρτίας — 14 μέτοχοι γὰρ τοῦ Χριστοῦ γεγόναμεν, ἐάνπερ τὴν ἀρχὴν τῆς ὑποστάσεως μέχρι τέλους βεβαίαν κατάσχωμεν — 15 ἐν τῷ λέγεσθαι, |
|
12Watch out, brothers, lest there be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.
13Instead, encourage one another every day, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
14For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firm until the end.
15As it is said:
“Today, if you hear His voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” {Psalm 95:7-8} |
| 16 τίνες γὰρ ἀκούσαντες παρεπίκραναν; ἀλλ' οὐ πάντες οἱ ἐξελθόντες ἐξ Αἰγύπτου διὰ Μωϋσέως; 17 τίσιν δὲ προσώχθισεν τεσσεράκοντα ἔτη; οὐχὶ τοῖς ἁμαρτήσασιν, ὧν τὰ κῶλα ἔπεσεν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ; 18 τίσιν δὲ ὤμοσεν, μὴ εἰσελεύσεσθαι εἰς τὴν κατάπαυσιν αὐτοῦ εἰ μὴ τοῖς ἀπειθήσασιν; 19 καὶ βλέπομεν ὅτι οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν εἰσελθεῖν δι' ἀπιστίαν. |
| 16For who heard and rebelled? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? 17And with whom was He provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, if not to those who were disobedient? 19So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief. |
