1 οθεν, αδελφοι αγιοι, κλησεως επουρανιου μετοχοι, κατανοησατε τον αποστολον και αρχιερεα της ομολογιας ημων ιησουν χριστον, 2 πιστον οντα τω ποιησαντι αυτον, ως και μωυσης εν ολω τω οικω αυτου. 3 πλειονος γαρ δοξης ουτος παρα μωυσην ηξιωται, καθ οσον πλειονα τιμην εχει του οικου ο κατασκευασας αυτον. 4 πας γαρ οικος κατασκευαζεται υπο τινος, ο δε τα παντα κατασκευασας θεος. 5 και μωυσης μεν πιστος εν ολω τω οικω αυτου ως θεραπων, εις μαρτυριον των λαληθησομενων, 6 χριστος δε ως υιος επι τον οικον αυτου, ου οικος εσμεν ημεις, εανπερ την παρρησιαν και το καυχημα της ελπιδος μεχρι τελους βεβαιαν κατασχωμεν. 7 διο, καθως λεγει το πνευμα το αγιον· σημερον εαν της φωνης αυτου ακουσητε, 8 μη σκληρυνητε τας καρδιας υμων ως εν τω παραπικρασμω, κατα την ημεραν του πειρασμου εν τη ερημω, 9 ου επειρασαν με οι πατερες υμων, εδοκιμασαν με, και ειδον τα εργα μου τεσσαρακοντα ετη· 10 διο προσωχθισα τη γενεα εκεινη και ειπον· αει πλανωνται τη καρδια, αυτοι δε ουκ εγνωσαν τας οδους μου· 11 ως ωμοσα εν τη οργη μου, ει εισελευσονται εις την καταπαυσιν μου· 12 βλεπετε, αδελφοι, μη ποτε εσται εν τινι υμων καρδια πονηρα απιστιας εν τω αποστηναι απο θεου ζωντος, 13 αλλα παρακαλειτε εαυτους καθ εκαστην ημεραν αχρι ου το σημερον καλειται, ινα μη σκληρυνθη εξ υμων τις απατη της αμαρτιας· 14 μετοχοι γαρ γεγοναμεν του χριστου, εανπερ την αρχην της υποστασεως μεχρι τελους βεβαιαν κατασχωμεν, 15 εν τω λεγεσθαι· σημερον εαν της φωνης αυτου ακουσητε, μη σκληρυνητε τας καρδιας υμων ως εν τω παραπικρασμω. 16 τινες γαρ ακουσαντες παρεπικραναν; αλλ ου παντες οι εξελθοντες εξ αιγυπτου δια μωυσεως; 17 τισιν δε προσωχθισεν τεσσαρακοντα ετη; ουχι τοις αμαρτησασιν, ων τα κωλα επεσεν εν τη ερημω; 18 τισιν δε ωμοσεν μη εισελευσεσθαι εις την καταπαυσιν αυτου ει μη τοις απειθησασιν; 19 και βλεπομεν οτι ουκ ηδυνηθησαν εισελθειν δι απιστιαν.

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.

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.
