Hebrews 3:1-6
(NET Bible)
1 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters,
partners in a heavenly calling, take
note of Jesus, the apostle and high
priest whom we confess, 2 who is
faithful to the one who appointed
him, as Moses was also in God’s
house. 3 For he has come to deserve
greater glory than Moses, just as the
builder of a house deserves greater
honor than the house itself!
Hebrews 3:1-6
(NET Bible)
4 For every house is built by
someone, but the builder of all
things is God. 5 Now Moses was
faithful in all God’s house as a
servant, to testify to the things that
would be spoken. 6 But Christ is
faithful as a son over God’s house.
We are of his house, if in fact we
hold firmly to our confidence and
the hope we take pride in.

Hebrews 3:7-11
(NET Bible)
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,
“Oh, that today you would listen as he
speaks! 8 “Do not harden your hearts as
in the rebellion, in the day of testing in
the wilderness. 9 “There your fathers
tested me and tried me, and they saw
my works for forty years. 10
“Therefore, I became provoked at that
generation and said, ‘Their hearts are
always wandering and they have not
known my ways.’ 11 “As I swore in my
anger, ‘They will never enter my rest!’”

the
redemptive work of Christ in

1 Corinthians 10:1-11
(NET Bible)
1 For I do not want you to be unaware,
brothers and sisters, that our fathers
were all under the cloud and all passed
through the sea, 2 and all were baptized
into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,
3 and all ate the same spiritual food, 4
and all drank the same spiritual drink.
For they were all drinking from the
spiritual rock that followed them, and
the rock was Christ. 5 But God was not
pleased with most of them, for they
were cut down in the wilderness.
1 Corinthians 10:1-11
(NET Bible)
6 These things happened as examples
for us, so that we will not crave evil
things as they did. 7 So do not be
idolaters, as some of them were. As it is
written, “The people sat down to eat
and drink and rose up to play.” 8 And
let us not be immoral, as some of them
were, and twenty-three thousand died in
a single day. 9 And let us not put Christ
to the test, as some of them did, and
were destroyed by snakes.
1 Corinthians 10:1-11
(NET Bible)
10 And do not complain, as some of
them did, and were killed by the
destroying angel. 11 These things
happened to them as examples and
were written for our instruction, on
whom the ends of the ages have come.
