1 And so, dear brothers and sisters who belong to God and are partners with those called to heaven, think carefully about this Jesus whom we declare to be God’s messenger and High Priest.
2 For he was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses served faithfully when he was entrusted with God’s entire house.
3 But Jesus deserves far more glory than Moses, just as a person who builds a house deserves more praise than the house itself.
4 For every house has a builder, but the one who built everything is God.
5 Moses was certainly faithful in God’s house as a servant. His work was an illustration of the truths God would reveal later.
6 But Christ, as the Son, is in charge of God’s entire house. And we are God’s house, if we keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ.
GOOD NEWS TRANSLATION
1 My Christian friends, who also have been called by God! Think of Jesus, whom God sent to be the High Priest of the faith we profess.
2 He was faithful to God, who chose him to do this work, just as Moses was faithful in his work in God's house.
3 A man who builds a house receives more honor than the house itself. In the same way Jesus is worthy of much greater honor than Moses.
4 Every house, of course, is built by someone—and God is the one who has built all things.
5 Moses was faithful in God's house as a servant, and he spoke of the things that God would say in the future.
6 But Christ is faithful as the Son in charge of God's house. We are his house if we keep up our courage and our confidence in what we hope for.
