Warning Against Hardening the Heart

7

Wherefore, (as the Holy Spirit saith, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear--

8

ye may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of the temptation in the wilderness,

9

in which tempt Me did your fathers, they did prove Me, and saw My works forty years;

10

wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, Always do they go astray in heart, and these have not known My ways;

11

so I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest--!')

12

See, brethren, lest there shall be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God,

13

but exhort ye one another every day, while the To-day is called, that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of the sin,

14

for partakers we have become of the Christ, if the beginning of the confidence unto the end we may hold fast,

15

in its being said, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear, ye may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation,'

16

for certain having heard did provoke, but not all who did come out of Egypt through Moses;

17

but with whom was He grieved forty years? was it not with those who did sin, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

18

and to whom did He swear that they shall not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe? --
