Hebrews 3:5-11, 17-19 (Epistle)
- 5
- And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward,
- 6
- but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.
- 7
- Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you will hear His voice,
- 8
- do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness,
- 9
- where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, and saw My works forty years.
- 10
- Therefore I was angry with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways.’
- 11
- So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’”
- 17
- Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?
- 18
- And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?
- 19
- So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
