Christ Is Greater Than Moses And Joshua In The Rest He Gives Hebrews 3:7-4:13: 7Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his
voice, 8Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in
the wilderness: 9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works
forty years. 10Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do
alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. 11So I sware in my
wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) 12Take heed, brethren, lest there be in
any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13But
exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened
through the deceitfulness of sin. 14For we are made partakers of Christ, if we
hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15While it is said, To
day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 16For
some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt
by Moses. 17But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that
had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? 18And to whom sware he that
they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? 19So we see that
they could not enter in because of unbelief…. 1Let us therefore fear, lest, a
promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come
short of it. 2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the
word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard
it. 3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in
my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from
the foundation of the world. 4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day
on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5And in this
place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 6Seeing therefore it remaineth that
some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in
because of unbelief: 7Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day,
after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your
hearts. 8For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have
spoken of another day. 9There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as
God did from his. 11Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man
fall after the same example of unbelief. 12For the word of God is quick, and
powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing
asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart. 13Neither is there any creature that is not
manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him
with whom we have to do.
