1Therefore, holy brethren, and partners of heavenly calling, behold ye the apostle and the bishop of our confession, Jesus,

2which is true to him that made him, as also Moses in all the house of him.

3But this bishop is had worthy of more glory than Moses, by as much as he hath more honour of the house, that made the house.

4For each house is made of some man; he that made all things of nought is God.

5And Moses was true in all his house, as a servant, into witnessing of those things that were to be said;

6but Christ as a son in his house. Which house we be, if we hold firm trust and glory of hope into the end.

7Wherefore as the Holy Ghost saith, Today, if ye have heard his voice,

8do not ye harden your hearts, as in wrathing, like the day of temptation in desert;

9where your fathers tempted me, and proved, and saw my works forty years.

10Wherefore I was wroth to this generation, and I said, Evermore they err in heart, for they knew not my ways;

11to which I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest.

12Brethren, see ye, lest peradven-ture in any of you be an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God.

13But admonish yourselves by all days, the while today is named, that none of you be hardened by fallacy [or falseness] of sin.

14For we be made partners of Christ, if nevertheless we hold the beginning of his substance firm into the end.

15While it is said, today, if ye have heard the voice of him, do not ye harden your hearts, as in that wrathing.

16For some men hearing wrathed, but not all they that went out of Egypt by Moses.

17But to whom was he wrathed forty years? Whether not to them that sinned, whose carrions were cast down in desert?

18And to whom swore he, that they should not enter into the rest of him [or into his rest], no but to them that were unbelieveful?

19And we see, that they might not enter into the rest of him for unbelief.
