Jesus Our High Priest | ||||
 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession; | 1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; | 1 Brothers and sisters, you are holy partners in a heavenly calling. So look carefully at Jesus, the apostle and chief priest about whom we make our declaration of faith. | 1 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus; | 1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus, | 2 He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house. | 2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. | 2 Jesus is faithful to God, who appointed him, in the same way that Moses was faithful when he served in God's house. | 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house. | 2 who is faithful to him that has constituted him, as Moses also in all his house. | 3 For 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. | 3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. | 3 Jesus deserves more praise than Moses in the same way that the builder of a house is praised more than the house. | 3 For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built the house has more honor than the house. | 3 For he has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by how much he that has built it has more honour than the house. | 4 For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. | 4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. | 4 After all, every house has a builder, but the builder of everything is God. | 4 For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God. | 4 For every house is built by some one; but he who has built all things is God. | 5 Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later; | 5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; | 5 Moses was a faithful servant in God's household. He told [the people] what God would say in the future. | 5 Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken, | 5 And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house, as a ministering servant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken after; | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house-- whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end. | 6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. | 6 But Christ is a faithful son in charge of God's household. We are his household if we continue to have courage and to be proud of the confidence we have. | 6 but 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. | 6 but Christ, as Son over his house, whose house are we, if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end. | 7 Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, "TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, | 7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, | 7 As the Holy Spirit says, "If you hear God speak today, don't be stubborn. | 7 Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will hear his voice, | 7 Wherefore, even as says the Holy Spirit, To-day if ye will hear his voice, | 8 DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME, AS IN THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS, | 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: | 8 Don't be stubborn like those who rebelled and tested me in the desert. | 8 don't harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness, | 8 harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness; | 9 WHERE YOUR FATHERS TRIED Me BY TESTING Me, AND SAW MY WORKS FOR FORTY YEARS. | 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. | 9 That is where your ancestors tested me, | 9 where your fathers tested me by proving me, and saw my works for forty years. | 9 where your fathers tempted me, by proving me, and saw my works forty years. | 10 "THEREFORE I WAS ANGRY WITH THIS GENERATION, AND SAID, 'THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART, AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS'; | 10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. | 10 although they had seen what I had done for 40 years. That is why I was angry with those people. So I said, 'Their hearts continue to stray, and they have not learned my ways.' | 10 Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, 'They always err in their heart, but they didn't know my ways;' | 10 Wherefore I was wroth with this generation, and said, They always err in heart; and they have not known my ways; | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, 'THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.'" | 11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) | 11 So I angrily took a solemn oath that they would never enter my place of rest." | 11 as I swore in my wrath, 'They will not enter into my rest.'" | 11 so I swore in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest. | The Peril of Unbelief |
| 12 Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. | 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. | 12 Be careful, brothers and sisters, that none of you ever develop a wicked, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. | 12 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God; | 12 See, brethren, lest there be in any one of you a wicked heart of unbelief, in turning away from the living God. | 13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. | 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. | 13 Encourage each other every day while you have the opportunity. If you do this, none of you will be deceived by sin and become stubborn. | 13 but 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. | 13 But encourage yourselves each day, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. | 14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end, | 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; | 14 After all, we will remain Christ's partners only if we continue to hold on to our original confidence until the end. | 14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end: | 14 For we are become companions of the Christ if indeed we hold the beginning of the assurance firm to the end; | 15 while it is said, "TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME." | 15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. | 15 Scripture says, "If you hear God speak today, don't be stubborn. Don't be stubborn like those who rebelled." | 15 while it is said, "Today if you will hear his voice, don't harden your hearts, as in the rebellion." | 15 in that it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation; | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 16 For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? | 16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. | 16 Who heard God and rebelled? All those whom Moses led out of Egypt rebelled. | 16 For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, didn't all those who came out of Egypt by Moses? | 16 (for who was it, who, having heard, provoked? but was it not all who came out of Egypt by Moses? | 17 And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? | 17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? | 17 With whom was God angry for 40 years? He was angry with those who sinned and died in the desert. | 17 With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn't it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? | 17 And with whom was he wroth forty years? Was it not with those who had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? | 18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient? | 18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? | 18 Who did God swear would never enter his place of rest? He was talking about those who didn't obey him. | 18 To whom did he swear that they wouldn't enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient? | 18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who had not hearkened to the word? | 19 So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief. | 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. | 19 So we see that they couldn't enter his place of rest because they didn't believe. | 19 We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief. | 19 And we see that they could not enter in on account of unbelief;) |
