1 Por lo cual, hermanos santos, participantes del llamamiento celestial, consideren a Jesús, el Apóstol y Sumo Sacerdote de la fe que profesamos, 2 Quien es fiel al que lo designó, como también fue Moisés en su casa. 3 Porque Éste fue considerado digno de mayor gloria que Moisés, como el que edificó la casa tiene mayor honra que ella. 4 Porque toda casa es construida por alguno, pero Dios es Quien hizo todas las cosas. 5 Ciertamente Moisés [fue fiel] en toda su casa como un esclavo, para testimonio de las cosas que serían dichas, 6 pero Cristo como Hijo fue fiel sobre su casa, la cual somos nosotros, si nos aferramos a la confianza y al enaltecimiento de la esperanza. 7 Por tanto, como dice el Espíritu Santo: Si oyen hoy su voz, 8 No endurezcan sus corazones como en la rebelión El día de la tentación en el desierto, 9 Donde sus antepasados intentaron probarme Y vieron mis obras 40 años. 10 Por lo cual, estuve airado contra aquella generación y dije: Siempre son extraviados en el corazón Y no entendieron mis caminos. 11 Por tanto juré en mi ira: No entrarán en mi reposo. 12 Cuídense, hermanos, para que ninguno de ustedes tenga un corazón malo de incredulidad para apostatar del Dios vivo. 13 Más bien, exhórtense los unos a los otros cada día, mientras se dice: Hoy. Para que ninguno de ustedes se endurezca por el engaño del pecado. 14 Porque somos participantes de Cristo, si retenemos firme hasta [el] fin la confianza que tuvimos al principio, 15 mientras se dice: Hoy. Si escuchan su voz, No endurezcan sus corazones, como cuando se rebelaron contra Él. 16 Porque, ¿quiénes lo provocaron después de escuchar? ¿No fueron todos los que salieron de Egipto dirigidos por Moisés? 17 ¿Contra quiénes estuvo airado 40 años? ¿No fue contra los que pecaron, quienes cayeron [muertos] en el desierto? 18 ¿A quiénes [Dios] juró que no entrarían en su reposo? ¿No fue a los que desobedecieron? 19 Vemos que no pudieron entrar por causa de su incredulidad.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Paul, having treated of hope, and having said that "We are His house, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end" ( c. iii. ver. 6 ); next shows that we ought to look forward with firmness, and he proves this from the Scriptures.

… righteous man, and blameless, truthful, God-fearing, and one that kept himself from all evil." But bringing an accusation against himself, he said, "No man is free from defilement, even if his life be but of one day." Moses was called faithful in all God's house; and through his instrumentality, God punished Egypt with plagues and tortures.
… Moses himself, being a man of God, was indeed given as a god before Pharaoh; but he is not properly termed Lord, nor is called God by the prophets, but is spoken of by the Spirit as "Moses, the faithful minister and servant of God," which also he was.
For neither when John saith, "He is mightier than I," doth he say it as comparing them; nor Paul, when remembering Moses he writes, "For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses," doth he so write by way of comparison; and He Himself too, in saying, "Behold, a greater than Solomon is here," speaks not as making …

According as Paul says in another place, And exhort each other daily, while it is called to-day; meaning, "continually." For as we may not speak of the "beginning of the days" of Christ, so neither suffer thou that any should ever speak of the end of His kingdom.
