1 Wherfore holy brethren partakers of the celestiall callinge consyder the embasseatour and hye prest of oure profession Christ Iesus
1 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus,
2 which was faythfull to him that made him even as was Moses in all his housse.
2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also Moses was in all his house.
3 And this man was counted worthy of more glory then Moses: In as moche as he which hath prepared the housse hath most honoure in the housse.
3 For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who built the house has more honor than the house.
4 Every housse is prepared of some man. But he that ordeyned all thinges is god.
4 For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.
5 And Moses verely was faythfull in all his housse as a minister to beare witnes of tho thinges which shuld be spoken afterwarde.
5 Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,
6 But Christ as a sonne hath rule over the housse whose housse are we so that we hold fast the confydence and the reioysynge of that hope vnto the ende.
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.
7 Wherfore as the holy goost sayth: to daye if ye shall heare his voyce
7 Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice,
8 harden not youre hertes after the rebellyon in the daye of temptacion in the wildernes
8 don’t harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
9 where youre fathers tempted me proved me and sawe my workes xl. yeare longe.
9 where your fathers tested me and tried me, and saw my deeds for forty years.
10 Wherfore I was greved with the generacion and sayde. They erre ever in their hertes: they verely have not knowe my wayes
10 Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they didn’t know my ways.’
11 so that I sware in my wrathe that they shuld not enter into my rest.
11 As I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’”
12 Take hede brethren that therbe in none of you an evyll herte in vnbeleve that he shuld departe from the lyvynge god:
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;
13 but exhorte one another dayly whill is it called to daye lest eny of you wexe harde herted thorow the deceytfullnesse of sinne.
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.
14 We are partetakers of Christ yf we kepe sure vnto the ende the fyrst substance
14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end,
15 so longe as it is sayd: to daye yf ye heare his voyce harde not youre hertes as when ye rebelled.
15 while it is said, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.”
16 For some when they hearde rebelled: howbe it not all that came out of Egypt vnder Moses.
16 For who, when they heard, rebelled? Wasn’t it all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?
17 But with who was he despleased .xl. yeares? Was he not displeased with them that synned: whose carkases were overthorwen in the desert?
17 With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
18 To whom sware he that they shuld not enter into his rest: but vnto them that beleved not?
18 To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
19 And we se that they coulde not enter in because of vnbeleve.
19 We see that they weren’t able to enter in because of unbelief.

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.
