Hebrews 3
|
|
| 3:1
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the
Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; |
"Christ Jesus ... was counted worthy of more glory than Moses."
Who was the greatest prophet?
|
| 3:2
Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in
all his house. |
|
| 3:3
For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he
who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. |
|
| 3:4
For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is
God. |
|
| 3:5
And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a
testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; |
|
| 3:6
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. |
|
| 3:7
Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, |
(3:7-8) BOM: Jacob 6:6
|
| 3:8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in
the wilderness: |
|
| 3:9
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. |
|
| 3:10
Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err
in their heart; and they have not known my ways. |
|
| 3:11
So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) |
BOM: Alma 12:35
|
| 3:12
Take heed, brethren,
lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in
departing from the living God. |

"Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief."
Every skeptic and nonbeliever has "an evil heart of unbelief."
|
| 3:13
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you
be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
|
| 3:14
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our
confidence stedfast unto the end; |
|
| 3:15
While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your
hearts, as in the provocation. |
|
| 3:16
For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out
of Egypt by Moses. |
|
| 3:17
But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had
sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? |
|
| 3:18
And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them
that believed not? |
|
| 3:19
So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
