3:1 icapsherfore holy brethre, partakers of the heauenly calling, consider the Apostle and high Priest of our profession Christ Iesus,  
3:2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithfull in all his house. Margin Note
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.  
3:4 For euery house is builded by some man, but hee that built all things is God.  
3:5 And Moses verely was faithfull in all his house as a seruant, for a testimonie of those things which were to be spoken after.  
3:6 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.  
3:7 Wherfore as the holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will heare his voyce,  
3:8 Harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation, in the day of temptation in the wildernesse:  
3:9 When your fathers tempted me, prooued me, and saw my works fourty yeeres.  
3:10 Wherefore I was grieued with that generation, and sayd, They doe alway erre in their hearts, and they haue not knowen my wayes.  
3:11 So I sware in my wrath: they shall not enter into my rest. Margin Note
3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an euill heart of vnbeleefe, in departing from the liuing God.  
3:13 But exhort one another dayly, while it is called To day, least any of you be hardned through the deceitfulnesse of sinne.  
3:14 For wee are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast vnto the end.  
3:15 Whilest it is sayd, To day if yee will heare his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation.  
3:16 For some when they had heard, did prouoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.  
3:17 But with whom was he grieued fourty yeeres? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wildernesse?  
3:18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that beleeued not?  
3:19 So we see that they could not enter in, because of vnbeleefe.
