3:1
    [kjv]  Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
    [bbe]  For this reason, holy brothers, marked out to have a part in heaven, give thought to Jesus the representative and high priest of our faith;
3:2
    [kjv]  Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
    [bbe]  Who kept faith with God who gave him his place, even as Moses did in all his house.
3:3  
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  And it was right for this man to have more honour than Moses, even as the builder of a house has more honour than the house.
3:4  
    [kjv]  For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
    [bbe]  For every house has a builder; but the builder of all things is God.
3:5  
    [kjv]  And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
    [bbe]  And Moses certainly kept faith as a servant, in all his house, and as a witness of those things which were to be said later;
3:6  
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  But Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we keep our hearts fixed in the glad and certain hope till the end.
3:7  
    [kjv]  Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
    [bbe]  And so, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you let his voice come to your ears,
3:8
    [kjv]  Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
    [bbe]  Be not hard of heart, as when you made me angry, on the day of testing in the waste land,
3:9  
    [kjv]  When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
    [bbe]  When your fathers put me to the test, and saw my works for forty years.
3:10  
    [kjv]  Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
    [bbe]  So that I was angry with this generation, and I said, Their hearts are in error at all times, and they have no knowledge of my ways;
3:11  
    [kjv]  So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
    [bbe]  And being angry I made an oath, saying, They may not come into my rest.
3:12 
    [kjv]  Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
    [bbe]  My brothers, take care that there is not by chance in any one of you an evil heart without belief, turning away from the living God:
3:13
    [kjv]  But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
    [bbe]  But give comfort to one another every day as long as it is still Today; so that no one among you may be made hard by the deceit of sin:
3:14
    [kjv]  For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
    [bbe]  For if we keep the substance of the faith which we had at the start, even till the end, we have a part with Christ;
3:15 
    [kjv]  While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
    [bbe]  As it is said, Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart, as when you made him angry.
3:16  
    [kjv]  For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
    [bbe]  Who made him angry when his voice came to them? was it not all those who came out of Egypt with Moses?
3:17
    [kjv]  But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
    [bbe]  And with whom was he angry for forty years? was it not with those who did evil, who came to their deaths in the waste land?
3:18  
    [kjv]  And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
    [bbe]  And to whom did he make an oath that they might not come into his rest? was it not to those who went against his orders?
3:19 
    [kjv]  So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
    [bbe]  So we see that they were not able to go in because they had no belief.
