WEB·Hebrews 3

¹Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus,

KJVWherefore^G3606, holy^G40 brethren^G80, partakers^G3353 of the heavenly^G2032 calling^G2821, consider^G2657^(G5657) the Apostle^G652 and^G2532 High Priest^G749 of our^G2257 profession^G3671, Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424;

² who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also Moses was in all his house.

KJVWho was^G5607^(G5752) faithful^G4103 to him that appointed^G4160^(G5660) him^G846, as^G5613 also^G2532 Moses^G3475 was faithful in^G1722 all^G3650 his^G846 house^G3624.

³ For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who built the house has more honor than the house.

KJVFor^G1063 this^G3778 man was counted worthy^G515^(G5769) of more^G4119 glory^G1391 than^G3844 Moses^G3475, inasmuch as^G2596^G3745 he who hath builded^G2680^(G5660) the house^G3624 hath more^G4119 honour^G5092 than^G2192^(G5719) the house^G846.

⁴ For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.

KJVFor^G1063 every^G3956 house^G3624 is builded^G2680^(G5743) by^G5259 some^G5100 man; but^G1161 he that built^G2680^(G5660) all things^G3956 is God^G2316.

⁵ Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,

KJVAnd^G2532 Moses^G3475 verily^G3303 was faithful^G4103 in^G1722 all^G3650 his^G846 house^G3624, as^G5613 a servant^G2324, for^G1519 a testimony^G3142 of those things which were to be spoken after^G2980^(G5702);

⁶ but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

KJVBut^G1161 Christ^G5547 as^G5613 a son^G5207 over^G1909 his own^G846 house^G3624; whose^G3739 house^G3624 are^G2070^(G5748) we^G2249, if^G1437^G4007 we hold fast^G2722^(G5632) the confidence^G3954 and^G2532 the rejoicing^G2745 of the hope^G1680 firm^G949 unto^G3360 the end^G5056.

⁷ Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice,

KJVWherefore^G1352(as^G2531 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 saith^G3004^(G5719), To day^G4594 if^G1437 ye will hear^G191^(G5661) his^G846 voice^G5456,

⁸ don’t harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

KJVHarden^G4645^(G5725) not^G3361 your^G5216 hearts^G2588, as^G5613 in^G1722 the provocation^G3894, in^G2596 the day^G2250 of temptation^G3986 in^G1722 the wilderness^G2048:

⁹ where your fathers tested me and tried me, and saw my deeds for forty years.

KJVWhen^G3757 your^G5216 fathers^G3962 tempted^G3985^(G5656) me^G3165, proved^G1381^(G5656) me^G3165, and^G2532 saw^G1492^(G5627) my^G3450 works^G2041 forty^G5062 years^G2094.

¹⁰ Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they didn’t know my ways.’

KJVWherefore^G1352 I was grieved^G4360^(G5656) with that^G1565 generation^G1074, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), They do^G4105 alway^G104 err^G4105^(G5746) in their heart^G2588; and^G1161 they^G846 have^G1097 not^G3756 known^G1097^(G5627) my^G3450 ways^G3598.

¹¹ As I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’”

KJVSo^G5613 I sware^G3660^(G5656) in^G1722 my^G3450 wrath^G3709, They shall^G1525 not^G1487 enter^G1525^(G5695) into^G1519 my^G3450 rest^G2663.)

¹² Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;

KJVTake heed^G991^(G5720), brethren^G80, lest^G3379 there be^G2071^(G5704) in^G1722 any^G5100 of you^G5216 an evil^G4190 heart^G2588 of unbelief^G570, in^G1722 departing^G868^(G5629) from^G575 the living^G2198^(G5723) God^G2316.

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.

KJVBut^G235 exhort^G3870^(G5720) one another^G1438 daily^G2596^G1538^G2250, while^G891^G3739 it is called^G2564^(G5743) To day^G4594; lest^G3363 any^G5100 of^G1537 you^G5216 be hardened^G4645^(G5686) through the deceitfulness^G539 of sin^G266.

¹⁴ For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end,

KJVFor^G1063 we are made^G1096^(G5754) partakers^G3353 of Christ^G5547, if^G1437^G4007 we hold^G2722^(G5632) the beginning^G746 of our confidence^G5287 stedfast^G949 unto^G3360 the end^G5056;

¹⁵ while it is said, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.”

KJVWhile^G1722 it is said^G3004^(G5745), To day^G4594 if^G1437 ye will hear^G191^(G5661) his^G846 voice^G5456, harden^G4645^(G5725) not^G3361 your^G5216 hearts^G2588, as^G5613 in^G1722 the provocation^G3894.

¹⁶ For who, when they heard, rebelled? Wasn’t it all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

KJVFor^G1063 some^G5100, when they had heard^G191^(G5660), did provoke^G3893^(G5656): howbeit^G235 not^G3756 all^G3956 that came^G1831^(G5631) out of^G1537 Egypt^G125 by^G1223 Moses^G3475.

¹⁷ With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

KJVBut^G1161 with whom^G5101 was he grieved^G4360^(G5656) forty^G5062 years^G2094? was it not^G3780 with them that had sinned^G264^(G5660), whose^G3739 carcases^G2966 fell^G4098^(G5627) in^G1722 the wilderness^G2048?

¹⁸ To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

KJVAnd^G1161 to whom^G5101 sware he^G3660^(G5656) that they should^G1525 not^G3361 enter^G1525^(G5696) into^G1519 his^G846 rest^G2663, but^G1508 to them that believed not^G544^(G5660)?

¹⁹ We see that they weren’t able to enter in because of unbelief.

KJVSo^G2532 we see^G991^(G5719) that^G3754 they could^G1410^(G5675) not^G3756 enter in^G1525^(G5629) because^G1223 of unbelief^G570.

WEB·Hebrews 2

¹Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.

KJVTherefore^G1223^G5124 we^G2248 ought^G1163^(G5748) to give the more earnest^G4056 heed^G4337^(G5721) to the things which we have heard^G191^(G5685), lest at any time^G3379 we should let them slip^G3901^(G5632).

² For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty,

KJVFor^G1063 if^G1487 the word^G3056 spoken^G2980^(G5685) by^G1223 angels^G32 was^G1096^(G5633) stedfast^G949, and^G2532 every^G3956 transgression^G3847 and^G2532 disobedience^G3876 received^G2983^(G5627) a just^G1738 recompence of reward^G3405;

³ how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard,

KJVHow^G4459 shall we^G2249 escape^G1628^(G5695), if we neglect^G272^(G5660) so great^G5082 salvation^G4991; which^G3748 at the first^G746 began^G2983^(G5631) to be spoken^G2980^(G5745) by^G1223 the Lord^G2962, and was confirmed^G950^(G5681) unto^G1519 us^G2248 by^G5259 them that heard^G191^(G5660) him;

⁴ God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by various works of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?

KJVGod^G2316 also bearing them witness^G4901^(G5723), both^G5037 with signs^G4592 and^G2532 wonders^G5059, and^G2532 with divers^G4164 miracles^G1411, and^G2532 gifts^G3311 of the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151, according to^G2596 his own^G846 will^G2308?

⁵ For he didn’t subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.

KJVFor^G1063 unto the angels^G32 hath he^G5293 not^G3756 put in subjection^G5293^(G5656) the world^G3625 to come^G3195^(G5723), whereof^G4012^G3739 we speak^G2980^(G5719).

⁶ But one has somewhere testified, saying, “What is man, that you think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?

KJVBut^G1161 one^G5100 in a certain place^G4225 testified^G1263^(G5662), saying^G3004^(G5723), What^G5101 is^G2076^(G5748) man^G444, that^G3754 thou art mindful^G3403^(G5736) of him^G846? or^G2228 the son^G5207 of man^G444, that^G3754 thou visitest^G1980^(G5736) him^G846?

⁷ You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor.

KJVThou madest^G1642 him^G846 a little^G1024^G5100 lower^G1642^(G5656) than^G3844 the angels^G32; thou crownedst^G4737^(G5656) him^G846 with glory^G1391 and^G2532 honour^G5092, and^G2532 didst set^G2525^(G5656) him^G846 over^G1909 the works^G2041 of thy^G4675 hands^G5495:

⁸ You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we don’t yet see all things subjected to him.

KJVThou hast put^G5293 all things^G3956 in subjection^G5293^(G5656) under^G5270 his^G846 feet^G4228. For^G1063 in^G1722 that he put^G5293 all^G3956 in subjection under^G5293^(G5658) him^G846, he left^G863^(G5656) nothing that is not^G3762 put under^G506 him^G846. But^G1161 now^G3568 we see^G3708^(G5719) not yet^G3768 all things^G3956 put under^G5293^(G5772) him^G846.

⁹ But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.

KJVBut^G1161 we see^G991^(G5719) Jesus^G2424, who^G3588 was made^G1642 a little^G1024^G5100 lower^G1642^(G5772) than^G3844 the angels^G32 for^G1223 the suffering^G3804 of death^G2288, crowned^G4737^(G5772) with glory^G1391 and^G2532 honour^G5092; that^G3704 he^G1089 by the grace^G5485 of God^G2316 should taste^G1089^(G5667) death^G2288 for^G5228 every man^G3956.

¹⁰ For it became him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

KJVFor^G1063 it became^G4241^(G5707) him^G846, for^G1223 whom^G3739 are all things^G3956, and^G2532 by^G1223 whom^G3739 are all things^G3956, in bringing^G71^(G5631) many^G4183 sons^G5207 unto^G1519 glory^G1391, to make^G5048 the captain^G747 of their^G846 salvation^G4991 perfect^G5048^(G5658) through^G1223 sufferings^G3804.

¹¹ For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

KJVFor^G1063 both^G5037 he that sanctifieth^G37^(G5723) and^G2532 they who are sanctified^G37^(G5746) are all^G3956 of^G1537 one^G1520: for^G1223 which^G3739 cause^G156 he is^G1870 not^G3756 ashamed^G1870^(G5736) to call^G2564^(G5721) them^G846 brethren^G80,

¹² saying, “I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the congregation I will sing your praise.”

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723), I will declare^G518^(G5692) thy^G4675 name^G3686 unto my^G3450 brethren^G80, in^G1722 the midst^G3319 of the church^G1577 will I sing praise^G5214^(G5692) unto thee^G4571.

¹³ Again, “I will put my trust in him.” Again, “Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me.”

KJVAnd^G2532 again^G3825, I^G1473 will^G2071^(G5704) put my trust^G3982^(G5756) in^G1909 him^G846. And^G2532 again^G3825, Behold^G2400^(G5628) I^G1473 and^G2532 the children^G3813 which^G3739 God^G2316 hath given^G1325^(G5656) me^G3427.

¹⁴ Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

KJVForasmuch^G1893 then^G3767 as the children^G3813 are partakers^G2841^(G5758) of flesh^G4561 and^G2532 blood^G129, he^G3348 also^G2532 himself^G846 likewise^G3898 took part^G3348^(G5627) of the same^G846; that^G2443 through^G1223 death^G2288 he might destroy^G2673^(G5661) him that had^G2192^(G5723) the power^G2904 of death^G2288, that is^G5123^(G5748), the devil^G1228;

¹⁵ and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

KJVAnd^G2532 deliver^G525^(G5661) them^G5128 who^G3745 through^G1223 fear^G5401 of death^G2288 were^G2258^(G5713) all^G3956 their lifetime^G2198^(G5721) subject^G1777 to bondage^G1397.

¹⁶ For most certainly, he doesn’t give help to angels, but he gives help to the offspring of Abraham.

KJVFor^G1063 verily^G1222 he took^G1949 not^G3756 on^G1949^(G5736) him the nature of angels^G32; but^G235 he took on^G1949^(G5736) him the seed^G4690 of Abraham^G11.

¹⁷ Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

KJVWherefore^G3606 in^G2596 all things^G3956 it behoved him^G3784^(G5707) to be made like^G3666^(G5683) unto his brethren^G80, that^G2443 he might be^G1096^(G5638) a merciful^G1655 and^G2532 faithful^G4103 high priest^G749 in things pertaining to^G4314 God^G2316, to^G1519 make reconciliation for^G2433^(G5745) the sins^G266 of the people^G2992.

¹⁸ For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

KJVFor^G1063 in^G1722 that^G3739 he^G3958 himself^G846 hath suffered^G3958^(G5754) being tempted^G3985^(G5685), he is able^G1410^(G5736) to succour^G997^(G5658) them that are tempted^G3985^(G5746).
