1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus:
2 who is faithful to him that made him, as also Moyses in all his house.
2 Who is faithful to him that made him, as was also ¹Moses in all his house.
3 For, this man is esteemed worthy of more ample glory above Moyses, by so much as more ample glory than the house, hath he that framed it.
3 For this man was counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as he that hath built the house, hath greater honor than the house.
4 For every house is framed of some man. But he that created all things, is God.
4 For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things, is God.

10 Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I said: They always err in heart. And they have not known my ways,
11 to whom I sware in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.
11 As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest.

12 Take heed, brethren, lest perhaps there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God.
13 But exhort yourselves every day, whiles today is named, that none of you be obdurate with the fallacy of sin.
13 But exhort one another every day, whilst it is called today, that none of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we be made partakers of Christ: yet so if we keep the beginning of his substance firm unto the end.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ: yet so, if we hold the beginning of his substance firm unto the end.

17 And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, ³whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert?
18 And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous?
18 And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous?
19 And we see that they could not enter in, because of incredulity.
19 And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.
