NASB — Hebrews 3 — KJV

Jesus Our High Priest

1 Therefore°, aholy° brethren°, partakers° of a bheavenly° calling°, consider° Jesus°, cthe Apostle° and dHigh° Priest° of our econfession°; 2 IHe was faithful° to Him who appointed° Him, as aMoses° also° was in all° His house°. 3 aFor He has been counted° worthy° of more° glory° than° Moses°, by just° so° much° as the builder° of the house° has° more° honor° than the house°. 4 For every° house° is built° by someone°, but the builder° of all° things° is God°. 5 Now° aMoses° was faithful° in all° His house° as ba servant°, cfor a testimony° of those° things dwhich were to be spoken° later; 6 but Christ° [was faithful] as aa Son° over° His house°bwhose° house° we are, cif° we hold° fast° our dconfidence° and the boast° of our ehope° firm° until° the end°.

The Peril of Unbelief

12 aTake° care°, brethren°, that there not be in any° one° of you an evil°, unbelieving° heart° Ithat falls° away° from bthe living° God°. 13 But aencourage° one° another° day° after° day°, as long° as it is [still] called° “Today°,” so°° that none°° of you will be hardened° by the bdeceitfulness° of sin°. 14 For we have become° partakers° of Christ°, aif°° we hold° fast° the beginning° of our bassurance° firm° until° the end°, 15 while° it is said°,
  “aTODAY° IF° YOU HEAR° HIS VOICE°,
  DO NOT HARDEN° YOUR HEARTS°, AS IWHEN° THEY PROVOKED° ME.”
16 For who° aprovoked° [Him] when they had heard°? Indeed°, bdid not all° those° who° came° out of Egypt° [led] by Moses°? 17 And with whom° was He angry° for forty° years°? Was it not with those° who° sinned°, awhose° bodies° fell° in the wilderness°? 18 And to whom° did He swear° athat they would not enter° His rest°, but to those° who° were bdisobedient°? 19 [So] we see° that they were not able° to enter° because° of aunbelief°.

Christ is more worthy than Moses:

1 ¶ Wherefore,º holyº brethren,º partakersº of the heavenlyº calling,º considerºª the² Apostleº andº High Priestº of ourº profession,º Christº Jesus;º 2 Who wasºª faithfulº to him that appointedºª him,º asº alsoº Mosesº [was faithful] inº allº hisº house.º 3 Forº thisº [man] was counted worthyºª of moreº gloryº thanº Moses,º inasmuch²² as¹¹ he who hath buildedºª the house¹² hath² moreº honourº than¹ª the² house.¹² 4 Forº everyº houseº is buildedºª byº someº [man]; butº he that builtºª all thingsº [is] God.º 5 Andº Mosesº verilyº [was] faithfulº inº allº hisº house,º asº a servant,º forº a testimonyº of those things which were to be spoken after;ºª 6 Butº Christº asº a sonº overº his own¹² house;º whoseº houseº areºª we,º ifºº we hold fastºª the² confidenceº andº the² rejoicingº of the² hopeº firmº untoº the end.º

therefore if we believe not in him, we shall be more worthy of punishment than hardhearted Israel.
