📖 Hebrews introduction

Read the chapter

1Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus; ✦ 2who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house. ✦ 3For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who built the house has more honor than the house. ✦ 4For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God. ✦ 5Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken, ✦ 6but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house; whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end. ✦ 7Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice, ✦ 8don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness, ✦ 9where your fathers tested me by proving me, and saw my deeds for forty years. ✦ 10Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they didn’t know my ways;’ ✦ 11as I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’” ✦ 12Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God; ✦ 13but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. ✦ 14For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end: ✦ 15while it is said, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.” ✦ 16For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, didn’t all those who came out of Egypt by Moses? ✦ 17With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? ✦ 18To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient? ✦ 19We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief. ✦

Christ at the center

Hebrews is sustained worship of Christ: better than angels, Moses, and the priests; the great High Priest after Melchizedek who by one sacrifice perfects forever those he saves.
