to God, in order to atone for the sins of the people.
002:018 For inasmuch as He has Himself felt the pain of temptation
and trial, He is also able instantly to help those who are
tempted and tried.
003:001 Therefore, holy brethren, sharers with others in a
heavenly invitation, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the Apostle
and High Priest whose followers we profess to be.
003:002 How faithful He was to Him who appointed Him, just as Moses
also was faithful in all God's house!
003:003 For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses,
in so far as he who has built a house has higher honour
than the house itself.
003:004 For every house has had a builder, and the builder of all
things is God.
003:005 Moreover, Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant
in delivering the message given him to speak;
003:006 but Christ was faithful as a Son having authority over God's house,
and we are that house, if we hold firm to the End the boldness
and the hope which we boast of as ours.
003:007 For this reason--as the Holy Spirit warns us, "To-day, if you
hear His voice,
003:008 do not harden your hearts as your forefathers did in the time
of the provocation on the day of the temptation in the Desert,
003:009 where your forefathers so sorely tried My patience and saw
all that I did during forty years.
003:010 Therefore I was greatly grieved with that generation, and I said,
`They are ever going astray in heart, and have not learnt
to know My paths.'
003:011 As I swore in My anger, they shall not be admitted to My rest"--
003:012 see to it, brethren, that there is never in any one of you--
